Natural regulatory T cells in isolated early responders compared with dual responders with allergic asthma
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Natural regulatory T (Treg) cells are implicated in the regulation of the inflammatory response in patients with allergic asthma.
OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine changes in Treg cell numbers in the airways and peripheral blood of isolated early responder (IER) versus dual responder (DR) subjects with mild allergic asthma before and after allergen challenge.
