2020-07-11
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Eosinophils are granulocytes associated with airway inflammation in respiratory disease. Eosinophil production and survival is controlled by interleukin-5: anti-interleukin-5 agents reduce asthma and COPD exacerbation frequency, and response correlates with baseline eosinophil counts. However, causal relationships between eosinophils and other respiratory phenotypes are less studied. <h4>Method...
