Leukotriene D4 induces production of transforming growth factor-beta1 by eosinophils.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Basophils and mast cells are important initiator/effector cells capable of rapidly responding to IgE-mediated stimulation, but the precise mechanisms regulating their functions in vivo have not been fully identified. In this study, we assessed whether low levels of antigen can modulate activation of basophil...
