Human airway smooth muscle promotes eosinophil differentiation
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Human airway smooth muscle (HASM) cells in culture synthesize cytokines and chemokines that may orchestrate the tissue homing and in situ differentiation of haemopoietic progenitor cells from the peripheral circulation.
OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of a supernatant from cultured HASM cells on the differentiative and transmigrational responses of haemopoietic progenitor cells.
