Deskripsi

The epithelial protein Coxsackievirus Adenovirus Receptor (CAR) is a virus receptor but may have other functions. Here the authors show that deletion of CAR in mice leads to reduced house dust mite-induced lung inflammation, reduced neutrophil accumulation and alterations in airway remodelling.
