Abstract
The epithelial surfaces of the respiratory tract are continuously exposed to environmental antigens, and the maintenance of immunological homeostasis in this vital organ system requires efficient local mechanism for antigen surveillance, both in the steady state and during episodes of inflammatory stimulation.
