Bronchial hyperresponsiveness
IL-17 producing T cells correlate with polysensitization but not with bronchial hyperresponsiveness in patients with allergic rhinitis
... Recent progress in Th17 cells knowledge suggests a pathological role of IL-17 in the allergic responses [2]. However, the involvement of Th17 cells in AR has not been clearly examined [3]. Th2 cells produce IL-4 and ...
