to determine whether these peptides could play a role in neutrophil-mediated lung injury , we examined the cytotoxicity of defensins and other pmn granule proteins in a chromium release assay with human lung-derived cell lines mrc-5 ( lung fetal fibroblast ) , a549 ( lung adenocarcinoma with features of alveolar epithelium ) , and primary cultures of human umbilical vein endothelial cells ( huvec ) .
