Abstract Background Growing evidence shows that interleukin 13 IL-13 may play an essential role in the development of airway inflammation and bronchial hyper-responsiveness BHR two defining features of asthma. Although the underlying mechanisms remain unknown a number of reports have shown that IL-13 may exert its deleterious effects in asthma by directly acting on airway resident cells including epithelial cells and airway smooth muscle cells. In this report we hypothesize that .
