Effects of KW-4679, a new orally active antiallergic drug, on antigen-induced bronchial hyperresponsiveness, airway inflammation and immediate and late asthmatic responses in guinea pigs.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Th2 cytokines play pivotal roles in allergic inflammation, including eosinophilia, and their actions are antagonized by Th1 cytokines, conferring them therapeutic potential. METHODS:In this study, we examined the ability of a number of cytokines to suppress the activation of eosinophils that function as eff...
