Abstract: The present invention is directed to modulators of eosinophilic and neutrophilic function and the use of such modulators for treatment of eosinophil-associated and neutrophil-associated diseases.
Abstract: The invention features a transgenic mouse that expresses human formyl peptide receptor and methods for producing this mouse. The invention also features methods for the measurement of an inflammatory response, particularly that associated with cystic fibrosis. The methods of the invention also feature methods for determining whether a compound inhibits or prevents the recruitment of neutrophils.
