The LINA cohort: Cord blood eosinophil/basophil progenitors predict respiratory outcomes in early infancy
Abstract
RATIONALE: Cord blood eosinophil/basophil progenitor cells (Eo/B) of high risk infants have been shown to predict respiratory illnesses in infancy. Here we investigated this association in a population-based cohort. Furthermore, we analysed whether newborns Th1/Th2 balance and prenatal environmental exposure impact Eo/B recruitment.
