In the past year insights have been gained into mechanisms whereby eosinophils are mobilized from the vasculature to enter sites of inflammation. In addition, the responses of eosinophils to specific cytokines have been delineated. Moreover, for the first time it has become clear that eosinophils th

CTLA-4 (CD152) expression is restricted to subsets of activated T lymphocytes and shares homology with CD28. CTLA-4 and CD28 molecules both bind to B7 molecules on antigenpresenting cells. Whereas CD28-B7 interaction enhances T cell activation, cytokine production and survival, CTLA-4 signaling down
## Abstract Asthma is a chronic disorder of the airways characterized by variable airway narrowing, mucus hypersecretion, and infiltration of the airway wall with eosinophils. It is now believed that asthma is controlled by Th2 lymphocytes producing cytokines such as ILβ4, ILβ5, ILβ9, and ILβ13. An
