Role of dendritic cells and Th2 lymphocytes in asthma: lessons from eosinophilic airway inflammation in the mouse

Abstract

Asthma is a chronic disorder of the airways characterized by variable airway narrowing, mucus hypersecretion, and infiltration of the airway wall with eosinophils. It is now believed that asthma is controlled by Th2 lymphocytes producing cytokines such as IL-4, IL-5, IL-9, and IL-13. Animal models of eosinophilic airway inflammation and airway hyperreactivity have been developed to study the contribution of cells or mediators in the pathogenesis of asthma. In this review, we discuss the role of antigen presenting cells, CD4(+) and CD8(+) T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, NK cells, and mast cells in the induction and maintenance of eosinophilic airway inflammation, mucus hypersecretion, and airway hyperreactivity.

Molecular imaging enables noninvasive imaging of key molecules that are crucial to tumor biology. Discover the latest research in molecular imaging in cancer biology in this feed.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.
