    Lipid Peroxidation of Lung Surfactant in Experimental Neonatal Group B Streptococcal Pneumonia

    Group B streptococcal (GBS) pneumonia, with neutrophilic granulocytes immigrating into the lungs, may occur in neonates. The incidence is particularly high among preterm infants, who often are treated with exo...

    Direct and Phagocyte-mediated Lipid Peroxidation of Lung Surfactant by Group B Streptococci

    In newborn infants, group B streptococci (GBS) often cause pneumonia, with polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) migrating into the lungs. Because surfactant therapy may be needed in such patients, we evaluated ...

    Lipid Peroxidation of Lung Surfactant by Bacteria

    The epithelium of the lung is lined with extracellular pulmonary surfactant. This is the surface that invading bacteria first come into contact with when they enter the alveoli. As bacteria become established...

    Fungal prophylaxis by reduction of fungal colonization by oral administration of bovine anti-Candida antibodies in bone marrow transplant recipients

    Candida overgrowth and invasion constitute a serious threat with a high mortality in BMT recipients. Currently available topical antifungal prophylaxis is largely ineffective, and as resistance to existing, ab...

    in Vitro Effect of Lung Surfactant on Alveolar Macrophage Defence Mechanisms Against Cryptococcus Neoformans

    The effects of a modified natural porcine surfactant (Curosurf) on phagocytosis and killing of Cryptococcus neoformans by alveolar macrophages and on the production of superoxide anions were investigated in vi...

    Lung Function and Bacterial Proliferation in Experimental Neonatal Pneumonia in Ventilated Rabbits Exposed to Monoclonal Antibody to Surfactant Protein A

    Surfactant protein A (SP-A) increases the resistance of surfactant to inhibition by plasma and other proteins. In a previous study we found that a monoclonal anti-SP-A antibody (R 5) increased the sensitivity...

    In vivo interaction between alveolar macrophages and Cryptococcus neoformans

    In vivo interactions of rabbit alveolar macrophages (AM) and Cryptococcus neoformans, a yeast pathogenic for humans, were studied. As a control, inert silica particles of a similar diameter (5–6 µm) were used....

    Anticryptococcal activity by alveolar macrophages from rats treated with cortisone acetate during different periods of time

    The effect of cortisone acetate (CA) treatment on the anticryptococcal activity by rat alveolar macrophages (AM) was investigated. The animals received a weekly dose of 5 mg CA during 1, 2, 3 or 4 weeks. Follo...
