Changes in Bone Marrow Inflammatory Cell Progenitors after Inhaled Allergen in Asthmatic Subjects
Abstract
Increases in inflammatory cell progenitors, particularly eosinophil/basophil colony-forming cells (Eo/B-CFU), occur in peripheral blood after allergen provocation. The role of bone marrow (BM) in these reactions is unclear. We examined the effect of allergen challenge on human bone marrow progenitor cell growth. Fifteen asthmatic subjects, eight dual responders (DR) and seven isolated early responders (IER), were challenged with inhaled …
