Lipopolysaccharide inhalation recruits monocytes and dendritic cell subsets to the alveolar airspace

Abstract

The diversity of human mononuclear phagocyte subsets remains to be characterized in many tissue-specific and functional contexts, including pulmonary inflammation. Here the authors characterize dendritic cell and monocyte subset recruitment to the bronchoalveolar space in a human LPS inhalation model.
