Endogenous IL-11 signaling is essential in Th2- and IL-13-induced inflammation and mucus production.

abstract：:Remodeling of the airways, as occurs in asthmatic patients, is associated with the continual presence of inflammatory mediators and Th2 cytokines, especially interleukin (IL)-13, during cycles of epithelial injury and repair. In this study, we examined the effect of IL-13 on well-differentiated normal human bronchial ...
