TH2 cytokine expression in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid T lymphocytes and bronchial submucosa is a feature of asthma and eosinophilic bronchitis.
- Abstract:
-
BACKGROUND: Asthma is characterized by variable airflow obstruction and airway hyperresponsiveness in association with airway inflammation under the influence of T(H)2 cytokines. Eosinophilic bronchitis has similar immunopathology to asthma but without disordered airway physiology. Whether eosinophilic bronchitis is associated with increased expression of T(H)2 cytokines is unknown. OBJECTIVE: We sought to assess the expression of T(H)2 cytokines in eosinophilic bronchitis. METHODS: Expressi...
