Defense mechanisms in the bovine lung.
The purpose of this article is to examine factors contributing to defense of the bovine lung from microbial infection. Appropriate physical, cellular, and secretory defense components are assessed. Attention is paid to the thin line separating host-mediated defense from host-mediated injury of the lung.
