Different Profile of Interleukin‐10 Production in Circulating T Cells from Atopic Asthmatics Compared with Healthy Subjects
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Interleukin (IL)-10 is a pleiotropic cytokine released from various cells, including T cells. Although IL-10 is suggested to inhibit allergic responses, its role in asthma remains uncertain. The purpose of the present study was to compare the profile of IL-10 in circulating T cells from stable atopic asthmatics, atopic nonasthmatics and healthy controls.
