This chapter focuses on upper respiratory physiology and immunity. There are several ways in which invading pathogens are prevented from compromising the upper airway. While mucociliary clearance provides a strong physical barrier, several proteins,

The respiratory system is permanently exposed to the influence of numerous harmful environmen tal factors: various microbial pathogens, allergens and air pollution, with non-volatile toxic chemicals of tobacco smoke. Therefore, there have been develo

Previous studies have implicated antimicrobial peptides in the host defense of the mammalian intestinal and respiratory tract. The aim of the present study has been to characterize further the expression of these molecules in non-epithelial cells of

Various antimicrobial mechanisms act in concert to protect the lung from infection by forming an efficient host defence system. Most microbial challenges are counteracted by elements of the innate immune system and antimicrobial peptides and proteins

SummaryThe management of respiratory tract infections requires an understanding of the complex interaction between the causative micro-organisms, local host defence factors in the respiratory tract and the body’s immune response. Of particular impo

Recent studies have advanced our understanding of innate immune mechanisms that protect the airways and maintain a sterile lung. Multiple antimicrobial peptides and proteins have been identified in airway secretions and their roles are beginning to b

Besides the skin, the respiratory tract is the major organ that is continuously exposed to the external environment. As such, this organ is continuously challenged by a wide variety of exogenous hazards (gaseous air pollutants, cigarette smoke, exhau

The respiratory tract is exposed continuously to noxious agents, microbial organisms, particles, and allergens. It has therefore evolved both innate and specific defense mechanisms. The innate host defense mechanisms include components such as collec

Respiratory infections are the greatest single contributor to the overall burden of disease worldwide [1]. Polymicrobial infections are becoming increasingly recognized in terms of both prevalence and their effect on disease severity, causing many co

Bacterial pathogens colonize human body surfaces soon after birth. In order to survive the constant threat of invasion and infection, the human innate immune system has evolved several efficient mechanisms to prevent harmful microorganisms from trave
