Abstract__ Background Despite its reported pro-inflammatory activity cyclooxygenase COX -2 has been proposed to play a protective role in asthma. Accordingly COX-2 might be down-regulated in the airway cells of asthmatics. This together with results of experiments to assess the impact of COX-2 blockade in
