Increased numbers of dendritic cells in the bronchial mucosa of atopic asthmatic patients: Downregulation by inhaled corticosteroids [PDF]
Background. Dendritic cells (DC) are the most potent antigen-presenting cells (APC) and stimulators of T cells. Dendritic cells are also likely to be essential for the initiation of allergic immune responses in the lung.

The IL-15 / sIL-15Rα complex modulates immunity without effect on asthma features in mouse
Background Interleukin 15 (IL-15) is a growth and modulating factor for B, T lymphocytes and natural killer cells (NK). Its action on innate and adaptive immunity is modulated by its alpha chain receptor (IL-15Rα).

Cooperation between interleukin-5 and the chemokine eotaxin to induce eosinophil accumulation in vivo. [PDF]
Experiments were designed to study the effect of systemically administered IL-5 on local eosinophil accumulation induced by the intradermal injection of the chemokine eotaxin in the guinea pig.

Bronchial hyperreactivity is a condition in which the airways show a much greater bronchoconstriction response to provocative stimuli than what is normal. The stimuli may be specific (different allergens) or non-specific (exercise, infection, cold, air, ozone, kerosene or a variety of inhalant irritants).

Clinical implications of having reduced mid forced expiratory flow rates (FEF25-75), independently of FEV1, in adult patients with asthma [PDF]
INTRODUCTION:FEF25-75 is one of the standard results provided in spirometry reports; however, in adult asthmatics there is limited information on how this physiological measure relates to clinical or biological outcomes independently of the FEV1 or the ...
