. Treatment of allergic asthma with inhaled corticosteroids results in local down-regulation of proinflammatory cytokine synthesis and in marked decrease in tissue eosinophilia. Blood concentrations of inhaled corticosteroids, although significantly lower than those measured in the lung, may still have antiinflammatory effects on circulating eosinophils, reducing their ability to migrate. The aim...

Abstract. Allergen exposure in atopic asthmatic patients is associated with recruitment and activation of eosinophils in the airways. Once activated, eosinophils release toxic products, including the eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), able to damage bronchial structures and to increase bronchial hyperresponsiveness. With this background, the present study was designed to evaluate whether ECP levels...

. To characterize the cellular inflammation at the bronchial and bronchoalveolar levels, we evaluated 43 patients with asthma who were sensitized to house dust mites. On 2 consecutive days patients underwent methacholine challenge and allergen bronchial challenge. In addition, 6, 24, or 72 h after allergen challenge, fiberoptic bronchoscopy with bronchial lavage (BL) and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL)...
Abstract. Recently, much attention has been given to the possible role of lymphocytes and their soluble products in causing and maintaining allergic inflammation. The aim of this study was to assess the production of mRNAs for interleukins (IL) in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells obtained from allergic asthmatics after challenge with the relevant allergen in the period between early and late reactions...
