Abstract

Production of LTC₄ and LTB₄ by eosinophils and neutrophils was compared between nine asymptomatic asthmatic subjects and eight health donors. We observed a statistically significant difference in LTC₄ generated by eosinophils, but not LTB₄ produced by neutrophils. These findings suggest a quantitative difference in eosinophils between asthmatic subjects and healthy donors.
