Role of nasal interleukin-8 in neutrophil recruitment and activation in children with virus-induced asthma.

abstract：:Sarcoidosis is a systemic disorder of unknown origin, primarily affecting the lungs. The granulomatous inflammation is driven by the interplay between various molecules and cells, including T cells. Previously, our group reported a close correlation between lung-restricted T-cell receptor (TCR) AV2S3 CD4-positive T-ce...
