Abstract Background Asthma is a complex disease characterized by reversible airway obstruction hyperresponsiveness and chronic inflammation. Principle pharmacologic treatments for asthma include bronchodilating beta2-agonists and anti-inflammatory glucocorticosteroids but these agents do not target the main cause of the disease the generation of pathogenic Th2 cells. We previously reported .
