Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To identify the genetic phenotypes of asthma based on the examination of the umbilical cord blood from neonates of the mothers with asthma. METHODS: Umbilical cord blood was collected from 39 asthmatic lying-in women and 46 healthy lying-in women. Eosinophils and basophils absolute counts, total immunoglobulin E, and interleukin (IL)-4 were examined. Mononuclear cells (MNCs) from the umbilical cord...
