Primary alveolar epithelial cell surface membrane microdomain function is required for Pneumocystis β-glucan-induced inflammatory responses(*)

Intense lung inflammation characterizes respiratory failure associated with Pneumocystis pneumonia. Our laboratory has previously demonstrated that alveolar epithelial cells (AECs) elaborate inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in response to the P. carinii cell wall constituent β-1,3-glucan (PCBG)...
