Role for cysteinyl leukotrienes in allergen-induced change in circulating dendritic cell number in asthma
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Dendritic cells are important antigen-presenting cells. After an allergen inhalation, their numbers rapidly decrease in circulation and increase in the airway mucosa.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether allergen-induced changes in the number of circulating dendritic cells are mediated by cysteinyl leukotrienes.
