Excerpt

Neutrophils are highly abundant innate immune cells that contribute to asphyxic episodes of acute asthma exacerbations, and secrete the proinflammatory cytokine tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF).

Our objective is to identify trafficking components in neutrophils that may contribute to cytokine secretion. …
