Innate Immunity in Allergic Asthma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a potential type 2 signature, obtained through stimulation of cell lines with various allergens in vitro, correlates with an allergic or asthmatic disease state ex vivo. This type 2 signature will be multi-hierarchical in nature and will be comprised cell surface receptor expression, pathway activation, and gene upregulation.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- determine which parameters of the established type-2 signature obtained in vitro is significantly different 5 between healthy controls, allergic individuals, and asthmatic individuals ex vivo. [1 year]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- o determine ex vivo whether any of the identified disease-specific type-2 parameters can be modified (brought back to healthy control levels) through the use of investigational compounds. [1 year]
