Proceedings of the Symposium on Experimental Models for Pulmonary Research Held at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina on February 5-7, 1979

摘要

The report is the proceedings of a symposium convened at Hyatt on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, February 5-7, 1979. This volume consists of 23 formal presentations that cover the five major areas discussed during the symposium: permeability of respiratory epithelium and pulmonary phagocytes; respiratory tract immunity: model systems of respiratory infectious diseases; regulation of mucus secretion and cellular differentiation; and pharmacological modulation in the lung. The purpose of this symposium is to exchange research approaches and techniques with experts in the scientific community and to explore the possible application of these new model system and techniques for studying environmental effects on pulmonary health.
