Signal transduction through interferon-gamma receptor on human eosinophils.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Mouse models have been established mirroring key features of human bronchial asthma including airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). Acute airway obstruction in response to an allergen challenge, however, remains to be demonstrated in these models. OBJECTIVE:A mouse model of allergic lung inflammation was employ...
