Interleukin-13 Induces Dramatically Different Transcriptional Programs in Three Human Airway Cell Types
1 Oct 2001
Abstract excerpt
Interleukin (IL)-13, a cytokine released by T lymphocytes during immediate hypersensitivity responses, is a central mediator of asthma. Because IL-13 induces phenotypic features of asthma in mice deficient in T and B lymphocytes, it is likely that this cytokine contributes to the development of asthma by acting directly on resident airway cells. To analyze the global effects of IL-13 on gene expression in airway...
