Comparison of pro- and anti-inflammatory responses in paired human primary airway epithelial cells and alveolar macrophages

Abstract Background Airway epithelial cells and alveolar macrophages (AMs) are the first line of defense in the lung during infection. Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists have been extensively used to define the regulation of inflammation in these cells. However, previous studies were performed in non...
