Serum levels of soluble IL-2R, CD4 and CD8 in bronChial asthma.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In smoking COPD patients the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid contains high numbers of inflammatory cells. These cells might produce arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites, which contribute to inflammation and an increased bronchomotor tone. AIMS:To investigate levels of AA metabolites in BAL fluid, before and...
