Explain how obstruction develops in an asthmatic patientfollowing exposure to an inhaled allergen.
In asthmatics classified as ‘dual responders’, the late phase inflammatory response is mediated by what cellular events?
Question 16 options:
activated macrophages secrete cytokines that recruit neutrophils to the alveoli
recruitment of eosinophils, neutrophils, and T-lymphocytes to the airway wall
mast cell activation, resulting in the release of preformed inflammatory mediators
processing of allergens by airway dendritic cells, which then activate B-cells
Understanding both physiology and pathophysiology has underpinned the development of drugs to treat asthma”. With reference to this statement, describe the various mechanisms through which drugs that treat asthma provide their therapeutics effects.
