Abstract:
As the passage of environmental atmosphere entering the body,the respiratory tract suffers persistent challenge from foreign substances.The mucosal immune system of the respiratory tract is the main defense line against the invasion of pathogens,which needs to distinguish not only beneficial and detrimental materials but also resident and pathogenic bacteria.Because the knowledge about respiratory mucosal immunity is limited,the immunopathologic mechanisms of related diseases such as asthma,acute lung injury, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and respiratory infection need investigation.The study about the immune features of the respiratory tract not only contributes to the prevention and treatment of respiratory disease but also provides ideas for the development and design of new vaccines and medicines.
