Abstract
Glucocorticoids and LTRAs significantly inhibit RLRI-induced exacerbation of allergic airway inflammation by distinct pathways. Dexamethasone suppressed nonspecific cytokines, whereas viral RNA did not increase via suppression of immunity. In contrast, pranlukast specifically inhibited IL-5 but not IFN-γ.
