Interleukin-10 is a key immunomodulatory cytokine the principal function of which is to limit the magnitude of immune response.

Anti-viral innate immune responses may be impaired in asthma, although the mechanisms are not well understood.
This chapter describes the preparation of respiratory tract tissue from both mice and rats for the isolation of respiratory tract dendritic cells (RTDC).
A hallmark of atopic asthma is development of chronic airways hyper-responsiveness (AHR) that persists in the face of ongoing exposure to perennial...
