The Correlation between Chitin and Acidic Mammalian Chitinase in Animal Models of Allergic Asthma

Asthma is the result of chronic inflammation of the airways which subsequently results in airway hyper-responsiveness and airflow obstruction. It has been shown that an elicited expression of acidic mammalian chitinase (AMCase) may be involved in the pathogenesis of asthma. Our recent study has demo...
