Galactomannan and Zymosan Block the Epinephrine-Induced Particle Transport in Tracheal Epithelium.

<h4>Background</h4>Ciliary beating by respiratory epithelial cells continuously purges pathogens from the lower airways. Here we investigated the effect of the fungal cell wall polysaccharides Galactomannan (GM) and Zymosan (Zym) on the adrenergic activated particle transport velocity (P...
