BUSM investigates cellular mechanisms leading to immune response in airway epithelium

Wednesday, November 24, 2010 - 18:00 in Biology & Nature

Researchers from the Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have demonstrated that commensal species of the genus Neisseriae are low inducers of human airway epithelial cell responses as compared to the pathogenic species. Specifically, the study indicates that a Neisserial outer membrane component appears to play a differential role in the host inflammatory responses via interaction with a receptor on the surface of human airway epithelial cells...
