...E. Aydt; G. Wolff Asthma is characterized by chronic inflammation of large and small airways maintained by extravasation of leukocytes from the bloodstream into the surrounding peribronchial tissue. The process of extravasation is of crucial importance in inflammation and is mediated by a sequenced...

... that these proteins not only augment innate immune responses to invading microorganisms but also act on adaptive immune functions like dendritic cell maturation and T cell proliferation. Both SP-A and SP-D downregulate the eosinophilic inflammation in murine asthma models and shift the cytokine profile towards a T...
