We have reported previously that airway epithelial cells (AEC) express CD40 and that activation of this molecule stimulates the expression of inflammatory mediators, including the chemokine RANTES (regulated on activation normal T cell expressed and secreted). Because NF-kappaB regulates the expression of many inflammatory mediators, such as RANTES, we utilized ... More
