Immunohistologic analysis of a human pulmonary alveolar macrophage antigen.
PAM1 is a 200-kDa polypeptide antigen present on lavaged human alveolar macrophages but not on monocytes, peritoneal macrophages, breast milk macrophages, or other normal hematopoietic cells studied by flow cytometry. We have characterized the distribution of expression of this antigen by cells in tissues by using immunohistologic techniques. Normal and diseased lung as well as lymph nodes, spl...
متن کاملA Case Report of Pulmonary Alveolar Microlithiasis
Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by the formation of calcium phosphate deposition in the alveoli. Although the disease most often occurs in children, most patients with the disease are diagnosed in adulthood due to the slow progression of the disease inside the lungs. In childhood, it often causes no symptoms, and changes in the lung parenchy...
متن کاملHuman Alveolar Macrophage Proteolytic
The occurrence of emphysema in people deficient in alphai-antltrypsin and the production of emphysema in experimental animals with elastolytic enzymes suggest proteolysis as a mechanism for the development of emphysema. To investigate the possible role of pulmonary alveolar macrophages in the pathogenesis of emphysema, we measured elastase, acid protease, and elastaselike esterase activities in...
متن کاملPulmonary Alveolar Microlithiasis: A Rare Case Report
Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis is an uncommon infiltrative pulmonary disease characterized by deposition of microliths in the alveoli. We present the case of a young adult with complaints of shortness of breath on exertion. Chest radiograph showed innumerable small, dense nodules, diffusely involving both the lungs - predominantly in the lower zones. High-resolution CT scan illustrated wides...
متن کاملAntigen sensitization modulates alveolar macrophage functions in an asthma model.
We have previously demonstrated that adoptive transfer of alveolar macrophages from allergy-resistant rats to alveolar macrophage-depleted allergic rats prevents airway hyperresponsiveness development, suggesting an important role for alveolar macrophages in asthma pathogenesis. Given that ovalbumin sensitization can modulate alveolar macrophage cytokine production, we investigated the role of ...
