Alpha-1 antitrypsin protects against phosgene-induced acute lung injury by activating the ID1-dependent anti-inflammatory response
2022-12-05
Abstract excerpt
Phosgene, a highly dangerous chemical warfare agent, is widely used as an industrial chemical. Phosgene inhalation causes acute lung injury (ALI), which may further progress into pulmonary edema. Currently, there is no known antidote for phosgene poisoning.
