Effect of beta2-adrenergic agonists on eosinophil adhesion, superoxide anion generation, and degranulation

Background: Eosinophils play important roles in the development of asthma exacerbation. Viral infection is a major cause of asthma exacerbation, and the expression of IFN-γ-inducible protein of 10 kDa (IP-10) and cysteinyl leukotrienes (cysLTs) is up-regulated in virus-induced asthma.
