Disordered Toll-like receptor 2 responses in the pathogenesis of pulmonary sarcoidosis.

abstract：:Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the airways. Increased levels of T cells are found in the lungs after the induction of an allergic-like inflammation in rats, and flow cytometry studies have shown that these levels are reduced in CD26-deficient rats. However, the precise anatomical sites where these ...
