title: Mucosal administration of flagellin induces innate immunity in the mouse lung.
abstract: Nonsurgical intratracheal instillation of 1 microg of purified, recombinant flagellin in several strains of mice stimulated a transient innate immune response in the lung characterized by the infiltration of neutrophils and the rapid production of tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin 6, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, and the chemokines keratinocyte-derived chemokine, MIP1alpha, and MIP-2.
