- W2017574009 abstract "In addition to their role in oxygen transport and ventilation, the lungs serve as an important defense function consisting of nonspecific and specific components. The nonspecific factors include aerodynamic filtration, mucociliary apparatus, bronchoalveolar fluid flow and lymphohematogenous drainage (anatomic systems) as well as phagocytosis and inflammation; the specific factors include B-cell immunity (IgG, A, M, D and E) and T-cell immunity (cell-mediated immunity). In the lungs, specialized lymphoid tissues in contact with epithelium (bronchus-associated lymphoid tissues; BALT) function in local antibody (secretory IgA) and cell-mediated immunity responses to foreign antigens. Based upon these considerations, a number of therapeutic interventions have been developed to enhance various components of lung defense. These include substances which enhance both nonspecific elements (leukocyte transfusion, plasma, nonspecific immunostimulants, e.g., immunoactive bacterial extracts) as well as specific elements (vaccines, intravenous gammaglobulin, plasma, interferons, cytokines). The need for further development and utilization of new immune interventions is underscored by the large number of infants and children who suffer from recurrent respiratory infections, who have either maturational immaturity (e.g. small for gestational age newborn), genetically determined (e.g. cystic fibrosis) or acquired defects (e.g. AIDS) of lung defense mechanisms. The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial organisms, e.g. Streptococcus pneumoniae, poses an additional need for new immune interventions." @default.
