PURPOSE: To determine whether Toll-like receptor 2 or 4 genotype alters the lung response
to irradiation in C57BL/6 mice using a model developing a phenotype that resembles …

Using a rat model of acute lung inflammation induced by intratracheal instillation of
lipopolysaccharide (LPS), we investigated the kinetics of mRNA expression and the …

Few studies have addressed the importance of vascular remodeling in the lung during the
development of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. For fibroplasia and deposition of …

Airway inflammation in acute and chronic bronchitis includes a prominent neutrophil influx.
Using a rat model of sulfur dioxide (SO2)-induced bronchitis, we investigated the role of the …

Macrophage infiltration is implicated in various types of pulmonary fibrosis. One important
pathogenetic process associated with pulmonary fibrosis is injury to basement membranes …

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an interstitial lung disease that develops following
repeated exposure to inhaled particulate antigens. Individuals with HP develop lymphocytic …

Lipopolysaccharide‐induced CXC chemokine (LIX) is a novel murine neutrophil‐
chemoattractant CXC chemokine cloned as a glucocorticoid‐attenuated response gene. We …

Systemic exposure to LPS initiates a complex sequence of events resulting in organ-specific
leukocyte recruitment and end-organ injury. We hypothesized that macrophage …

Purpose: A strain difference in the development of radiation-induced fibrosis of the
colorectum was recently observed. C57B1/6 mice developed colorectal obstruction with …
