Effect of inhaled air pollution particulate matter in alveolar macrophages on local pro-inflammatory cytokine and peripheral interferon γ production in response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Effect of inhaled air pollution particulate matter in alveolar macrophages on local pro-inflammatory cytokine and peripheral interferon γ production in response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Background: Human alveolar macrophages are first-line cellular responders to inhaled particulate matter (PM) and microbial pathogens in the lungs. We examined whether PM exposure affects human bronchoalveolar and peripheral blood mononuclear cell responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Methods: Bro...
