abstract = {Objective: To investigate whether the expression of OX40/OX40 ligand (OX40L) was upregulated in a murine model of asthma and their significance in the pathogenesis of asthma.
Methods: After an ovalbumin-sensitized/challenged murine model of asthma was established, the expressions of OX40, OX40L in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cell pellets were measured. Then T cell proliferation was analyzed by cell counting kit-8, and the protein levels of OX40 and OX40L in the lungs were determined by immunohistochemistry. The concentrations of IL-4 and IFN-γ in BALF and T cell culture supernatant were evaluated by ELISA.
Results: The percentages of CD4+OX40+, CD19+OX40L+, F4/80+OX40L+ in PBMCs and BALF cell pellets were higher in asthma group than in control group (all P},
