Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: CD4+ T cells expressing type 2 cytokines have been implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma to high-molecular-weight allergens. Topical exposure of BALB/c strain mice to low-molecular-weight chemical contact and respiratory allergens stimulates type 1 and type 2 cytokine secretion phenotypes, respectively. OBJECTIVE: To examine the relative frequencies of cytokine-positive CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and...
