摘要：

Intrinsic asthma shows no clinical or serological evidence of IgE-mediated allergy to common environmental agents. Similar to extrinsic asthma, bronchial biopsies from such patients show enhanced expression of Th2-type cytokines, CC chemokines and I epsilon/C epsilon compared with controls. These findings suggest that there might be local IgE production directed against unknown antigens, possibly of viral origin or even autoantigens, in this important clinically distinct variant of the disease.
