IL-1β Derived Th17 Immune Responses Are a Critical Factor for Neutrophilic-Eosinophilic Airway Inflammation on Psychological Stress-Induced Immune Tolerance Breakdown in Mice
Abstract:<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Asthma is an inflammatory reaction mediated by type 2 helper T (Th2) cells and is known to increase eosinophil levels. Our previous study showed that stress-related asthma can cause neutrophilic and eosinophilic airway inflammation by suppressing immune tolerance. However, the mechanism of stress-induced neutrophilic and eosinophilic airway inflammation remains unclear. Therefore, to elucidate the cause of neutrophilic and eosinophilic inflammation, we invest… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
