Hypoxic modulation of manganese superoxide dismutase promoter activity and gene expression in lung epithelial cells.

abstract：:We hypothesized that, as in animal models, localized deposition of antigen into the human lung would induce local inflammatory and immune responses in antigen-exposed sites. To test this hypothesis, segmental instillation of a well-characterized, highly immunogenic, soluble antigen, keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) was...
