Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an antigen-mediated eosinophilic disease of the esophagus that involves fibroblast activation and progression to fibrostenosis. Cytokines produced by T-helper type 2 cells and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFβ1) contribute to the development of EoE, but other cytokines involved in pathogenesis are unknown. We investigate the effects of tumor necrosis...
