Abstract excerpt
The lung is one of the commonest sites of exposure to environmental allergen or pathogen, so the expression of a variety of cytokines in the lung is dynamically regulated by inflammatory or structural cells in the lung. In the last decades, characterization of the local lung cytokine milieu in allergic or injury models has identified a collective role of certain cytokines, such as type 1 or type 2 cytokines,...
