Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvolvement of the α/β Isoform of p38 MAP Kinase in Chemotactic Responses of Human Eosinophils to Eotaxin (CCL11) and RANTES (CCL5)Anwar M Hasan, Gordon DentEosinophils are the principal effector cells for allergic inflammation in a variety of diseases, in which they contribute to tissue damage and remodelling processes via the secretion of cytotoxic granular proteins and cytokines. The intracellular mechanisms that control the activation, recruitment and survival of eosinophils are fundamental in understanding these disease processes. Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) has been shown previously to … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 26 Oct 2017 · 7,943 accessesView PDFCite
