In spite of similar tissue cellular inflammation, sputum IL‐4, IL‐5 and CCL26 were increased in T2‐high versus T2‐low asthma, and several further T2‐associated cytokines, PGD2 and LTE4, were increased in T2‐high and T2‐intermediate asthma compared with healthy controls. The gene discussed is IL5; the disease is asthma.
