Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Clara cells of mice are considered to have a specific sensitivity to lung toxicants, because they have a cytochrome P450 dependent oxidation potency, which is 1 to 2 magnitudes higher as of humans (see also Buckpitt A. et al., Relationship of cytochrome P450 activity to Clara cell cytotoxicity. IV. Metabolism of naphthalene and naphthalene oxide in microdissected airways from mice, rats, and hamsters. , http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7838135). This means, that effects on clara cells of mice are not transferable to man a priori.
