Abstract Background Acute exposure to chlorine Cl2 gas causes epithelial injury and airway dysfunction. yS T cells are present in the mucosal surface of the airways and may contribute to the injury repair response of the epithelium. Methods C57Bl 6J wild type and TCR-S- - mice exposed to Cl2 400 ppm for 5 minutes underwent measurements of airway responses to i.v. methacholine MCh at 1 3 and 5 days after exposure. Bronchoalveolar lavage was performed to determine epithelial and leukocyte counts and protein content. Tissue repair was assessed by proliferating cell nuclear antigen PCNA immunoreactivity and by expression of keratinocyte growth factor KGF mRNA by real-time PCR. Results Wild type mice developed a greater degree of airway hyperresponsiveness to MCh at 1 day post exposure to Cl2 compared with TCR-S- - mice. Epithelial cell counts in BAL after Cl2 exposure were greater in TCR-S- - mice but macrophages showed a later peak and granulocyte numbers were lower .
