摘要: There is now a consensus that T-cell-mediated inflammation and eosinophil activation in the bronchial wall contribute to pathogenesis of asthma. However, relationship between these immunopathological mechanisms observed physiological aberrations remain unclear. Here, Len Poulter colleagues identify links hyperresponsiveness, propose hypothesis for asthma which combination immunological abnormalities may result promotion disease. Furthermore, they suggest an integral factor prevention this process regulation T-cell reactivity by population immunosuppressive macrophages.
