... strategy also modulates alveolar and plasma levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in patients with acute lung injury [5,31]. The ability of MV to induce inflammation may be in part explained by its ... cytokines. Therefore, their study also suggests that TLRs play a role in the inflammatory response initiated by MV in healthy lungs. Our study is complementary to a study by Moriyama et...
