Synergistic protection against hyperoxia-induced lung injury by neutrophils blockade and EC-SOD overexpression
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Oxygen may damage the lung directly via generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) or indirectly via the recruitment of inflammatory cells, especially neutrophils. Overexpression of extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) has be...
