ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to methods for inducing a pro-asthma/pro-inflammatory like state in a resident tissue cell, comprising contacting the cell with IL-1β, TNFα or both. Methods are also disclosed for identifying genes that regulate responses to anti-inflammatory drugs, to methods for drug screening, and to methods for identifying genes that correlate with various pro-asthma/pro-inflammatory disease phenotypes.
