Release of interleukin-8, interleukin-6, and colony-stimulating factors by upper airway epithelial cells: implications for cystic fibrosis.

abstract：:To investigate mechanisms regulating intra-alveolar coagulation, we studied monolayers of the A549 human lung epithelial cell line. The surface of A549 cells delayed the onset of prothrombin-to-thrombin conversion and prevented total prothrombin consumption in normal plasma compared to plastic cell-free wells. Similar...
