Gob-5 Is Not Essential for Mucus Overproduction in Preclinical Murine Models of Allergic Asthma

Abstract excerpt

Overexpression of Gob-5 has previously been linked to goblet cell metaplasia and mucin overproduction in both in vitro and in vivo model systems. In this study, Gob-5 knockout mice were generated and their phenotype was evaluated in two established preclinical models of allergic asthma. We sought to determine whether the Gob-5-null animals could produce less mucus in response to allergic challenge, and whether...
