Figure 6From: Human mast cells decrease SLPI levels in type II – like alveolar cell model, in vitroSLPI mRNA expression by lung epithelium, A549, cells. Increased SLPI mRNA levels in co-culture experiments were observed after 96 h (* p < 0.05), compared to 24 and 48 hours. No change in SLPI mRNA levels was found when lung carcinoma cells were cultured alone.Back to article page
