Abstract: Investigates whether defensins, the most abundant components of the azurophilic granule of neutrophils, induce interleukin-8 (IL-8) expression in airway epithelial cells and local chemokine networks. Purification and characterization of defensins; Effect of defensins on IL-8 protein secretion and mRNA expression.
