CD8+ T lymphocytes in lung tissue from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Various signals are known to participate in the pathogenesis of lung fibrosis. Our aim was to determine which signal is predominantly mobilized in the early inflammatory phase and thereafter modulates the development of lung fibrosis. METHODS:Mice received a single dose of 3 mg/kg body weight of bleomycin (...
