Background: Diesel exhaust particles (DEP) synergistically aggravate acute lung injury
related to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in mice, but the components in DEP responsible for this …

Background Diesel exhaust particles (DEP) can enhance various respiratory diseases.
However, it is unclear as to which components in DEP are associated with the …

Diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) are the main components of ambient particulate materials,
including polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), n-PAHs, heavy metals, and gaseous …

Epidemiologic and experimental studies suggest that diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) may
be related to increasing respiratory mortality and morbidity. We have shown that DEPs …

The effect of diesel exhaust particulate (DEP) exposure on innate, cellular and humoral
pulmonary immunity was studied using high-dose, acute-exposure rat, mouse, and cell …
