IL5 and asthma: Numerous previous studies (Kuo et al., 2017; Lambrecht et al., 2019; Hinks et al., 2021) have shown that eosinophilic asthma is mainly characterized by IgE and Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, etc.), whereas neutrophil asthma is mainly characterized by Th17 cytokines (IL-17, IL-6, etc.), which are involved in the development of steroid-resistant asthma (Nabe, 2020).
