To date, therapeutic inhibition of Th2 cytokines has proved disappointing. We used a clinically relevant model of chronic allergic asthma in mice to compare the effects of administering neutralizing antibodies to interleukin (IL)-13, IL-5, and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) to animals with established disease. As has been observed in clinical studies, anti-IL-5 inhibited both...[Show more]
