Identification of key genes in human airway epithelial cells in response to respiratory pathogens using microarray analysis

Abstract Background Airway epithelium is the primary target for pathogens. It functions not only as a mechanical barrier, but also as an important sentinel of the innate immune system. However, the interactions and processes between host airway epithelium and pathogens are not fully understood. Resu...
