Cell Contacts and Airway Epithelial Damage in Asthma

Cell Contacts and Airway Epithelial Damage in Asthma

Airway epithelial damage is commonly found in asthma patients. Epithelial damage was investigated with special reference to contacts between epithelial cells. Eosinophils, common in allergic asthma, secrete cationic proteins, particularly major basic protein (MBP). The effect of poly-L-arginine, an...
