Changes in T lymphocyte subsets and activation following chronic antigen inhalations in monkeys.

132S 35th Annual Aspen Lung Conference specific T cell clones from allergic patients,8 and by T cells in the bronchi of asthmatic subjects that are able to secrete cytokines, including 1L5, with important effects on eosinophils and other cell types. There is also strong cijcumstanlial evidence to support the role of the eosinciphil as the main effector cell involved in the bronchial inflammation. The present study has shown that a large number of T cells, particularly of CD4 + subset, was recruited into the bronchi 7 days after the booster injection of antigen in actively
