  • Publication number: 20120027754
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of asthma treatment and prevention using ?v?6 antagonists, such as ?v?6-binding antibodies. In particular, the invention relates to the discovery of a correlation between reduced expression of ?v?6 and the protection from the increase in airway sensitivity seen in chronic allergen-challenged mice. This protection is associated with protection from the usual allergen-induced increase in airway epithelial mast cells.
