The Effects of Inhaled Budesonide on Circulating Eosinophil Progenitors and Their Expression of Cytokines after Allergen Challenge in Subjects with Atopic Asthma
Abstract
Allergen inhalation by dual responder subjects with atopic asthma is associated with an increase in circulating eosinophil/basophil colony-forming units (Eo/B CFU) and granulocyte-macrophage colony- stimulating factor (GM-CSF) immunolocalization in Eo/B colony cells grown in vitro. The current study examined the effect of the inhaled corticosteroid, budesonide, on the number of allergen- induced circulating eosinophils and Eo/B CFU, and …
