Response of Peripheral Blood Th17 Cells to Inhaled Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus in Patients with Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma

摘要

Recent studies have shown the importance of Th17 cells in the development of allergic airway diseases. We examined Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus-induced changes in peripheral blood Th17 cells to establish the importance of these cells in late-phase allergic inflammation in patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) and allergic asthma (AA).
