In the present study, we also investigated the chemokine ligand levels, that is, CCL11 (also known as eotaxin), and CCL24 (also known as eotaxin-2 or myeloid progenitor inhibitor factor-2), which are all epithelial cell–derived chemokines involved in the pathogenesis of asthma and rhinitis. Here, CCL11 is linked to asthma.
