Do cD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells play a central role in a HDM driven model of allergic asthma?
This CD4(+)/CD8(+) T cell dependent, HDM driven model of allergic asthma exhibits key features of asthma. Furthermore, we suggest that the ability to repeat challenge with HDM means this model is amenable to studies exploring the effect of therapeutic dosing in chronic, established disease.
PET shows superior retention of endothelial cells during shear stress compare to PTFE and pericardium.
