Description:
Article Airway hyper-responsiveness, a hallmark of asthma, is often associated with sensitization to fungi. Here, the authors show that a fungal protease allergen Asp f13 / Alp1 from Aspergillus fumigatus can promote airway hyper-responsiveness in asthma via its effect on the airway smooth muscle cells.
