Promotion of Eosinophil Survival by Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells and its Modulation by Steroids
Abstract
Accumulation of eosinophils in the bronchial tissue occurs in a variety of inflammatory disorders of the human airway. We asked whether airway epithelial cells released factors that could influence eosinophil survival and thus contribute to accumulation of these cells in the tissues. Using conditioned medium (CM) generated from cultured human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEC), we examined the in vitro survival of eosinophils isolated from human …
