Induction of a memory-like CD4+ T-cell phenotype by airway smooth muscle cells.

Abstract excerpt

In asthma, CD4+ T-cell interaction with airway smooth muscle (ASM) may enhance its contractile properties and promote its proliferation. However, less is known about the effects of this interaction on T cells. To explore the consequences of interaction of CD4+ T cells with ASM we placed the cells in co-culture and analyzed the phenotypic and functional changes in the T cells. Effector status as well as cytokine...
