Immunoglobulin M regulates airway hyperresponsiveness independent of T helper 2 allergic inflammation
2023-08-05
Abstract excerpt
Allergic asthma is a disease driven by T helper 2 (Th2) cells, eosinophilia, airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and IgE-secreting B cells. Asthma is largely controlled by corticosteroids and β 2 adregenic receptor agonists that target and relax airway smooth muscle (ASM).
