The Relative Roles of Passive Surface Forces and Active Ion Transport in the Modulation of Airway Surface Liquid Volume and Composition

Two hypotheses have been proposed recently that offer different views on the role of airway surface liquid (ASL) in lung defense. The “compositional” hypothesis predicts that ASL [NaCl] is kept low (<50 mM) by passive forces to permit antimicrobial factors to act as a chemical defense. The “volum...
