Regulatory T cells: the future of autoimmune disease treatment.

abstract：:In adulthood, new or recurrent asthma is caused by work in approximately 10% of cases. The term occupational asthma is reserved for those cases arising from respiratory hypersensitivity to a specific workplace agent; in others (work-exacerbated asthma) the mechanism is of nonspecific airway irritation on a background ...
