Alveolar epithelial type II cells activate alveolar macrophages and mitigate P. Aeruginosa infection.

Alveolar epithelial type II cells activate alveolar macrophages and mitigate P. Aeruginosa infection.

Although alveolar epithelial type II cells (AECII) perform substantial roles in the maintenance of alveolar integrity, the extent of their contributions to immune defense is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that AECII activates alveolar macrophages (AM) functions, such as phagocytosis using a...
