Abstract
We investigated the effect of polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN)-generated oxygen metabolites on the ciliary beat frequency. PMNs were incubated with human respiratory cilia obtained by nasal brushing. The oxidative metabolism was stimulated by opsonized zymosan, and ciliary beat frequency was evalua...
