pubmed:abstractText
Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP) is an idiopathic pulmonary disease. As the lung is in direct communication with the environment, inhaled antigen may activate immune mechanisms in the airway that may participate in the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary diseases. Defensins are antimicrobial peptides that consist of alpha-defensin (HAD) in neutrophils and beta-defensin (HBD) in epithelial cells. Defensins act as innate immunity against pathogens acquired from the environment and as mediators to induce local inflammation.
