Aspergillus fumigatus –Secreted Alkaline Protease 1 Mediates Airways Hyperresponsiveness in Severe Asthma

The hallmark features of allergic asthma are type 2 (eosinophilic) inflammation and airways hyperresponsiveness (AHR). Although these features often comanifest in mouse lungs in vivo, we demonstrate in this study that the serine protease Alp1 from the ubiquitous mold and allergen, Aspergillus fumiga...
