PY - 2015 T2 - Fishman's Pulmonary Diseases and Disorders, 5e AB - The lung receives a continual flow of foreign infectious and noninfectious antigens during respiration. Like the gut, genitourinary tract, and skin the lung is one of the interfaces of the sterile body with the environment. The lung's immune defense system and inflammatory mechanisms are poised to deal with this role. In this chapter we will consider the inflammatory and immune roles of two key cells of hematopoietic origin: the lung lymphocyte and the lung macrophage.
