Fibroblast RNA and macrophage proteins (including the fibrogenic factor) in experimental silicosis.
A hypothesis is presented for the action of silica-treated macrophages on protein synthesis in fibroblasts and also a method for the isolation of silica-attached materials in lung tissue. The increased protein synthesis in the fibroblasts is due, at least partly, to an increase in mRNA. Silica preve...
