CD40 and OX40 ligand are differentially regulated on asthmatic airway smooth muscle.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The cytokine network is thought to be essential in orchestrating airway inflammation in asthma. Although evidence has accumulated to suggest that atopic asthma is a Th2 disease, much less is known about nonatopic asthma. METHODS:We have compared the production of IL-4, IL-6, IFN-gamma, and TNF-alpha from pe...
