Pseudomonas aeruginosa induction of apoptosis in respiratory epithelial cells: analysis of the effects of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator dysfunction and bacterial virulence factors.

abstract：:The effects of repeated ozone exposures on the development of immune responses toward ovalbumin (OVA) were investigated in BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice. Ozone exposures (180 to 500 microg/m(3); 4 h, three times/wk for 4 wk) were combined with a protocol of OVA-aerosol exposure (1% OVA). Immediate cutaneous hypersensitivity...
