Complete Dependence on CD4+ Cells in Late Asthmatic Response, but Limited Contribution of the Cells to Airway Remodeling in Sensitized Mice

Abstract.: It is known that the late asthmatic response (LAR), a characteristic feature of asthma, is closely associated with CD4+ Th2 cell–mediated allergic inflammation. Airway remodeling is also a pathogenesis of asthma, but literature reporting roles of CD4+ cells in the remodeling is controvers...
