Increased Levels of Interleukin-33 and Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin in Exhaled Breath Condensate in Chronic Bronchial Asthma

Abstract

Higher levels of IL-33 and TSLP in EBC provide evidence supporting a role for these mediators in asthma. Their levels do not discriminate between controlled and uncontrolled asthma. The local reaction within the epithelium is independent of the systemic reaction.
