Brief Summary

Asthma is more common in females than in males but the difference has not been explained yet. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) have recently emerged as critical players in the initiation of allergic responses but their implications in the difference between males and females in terms of asthma prevalence has not been fully studied. The aim of this project is to compare the proportion of ILC2 in blood between males and females with asthma.
