Abstract: | |||||||
Bronchial biopsies obtained at baseline, 24 hours and 7 days after allergen challenge from mild atopic asthmatics were evaluated to follow the initiation and resolution of allergen-induced inflammation and remodelling in relation to AHR. Further, the expression patterns of the TGF-β Superfamily ligands (TGF-β₁₋₃, activin-A, BMP-2, BMP-4 and BMP-7) and their respective signalling pathway Type II receptors, Type I receptors and signalling Smad proteins were defined in baseline asthma and after allergen provocation in comparision with normal volunteers.
