Techniques
Standard molecular and cellular methods are not detailed here (qPCR, Western blotting, flow cytometry, cell culture, histology etc)
Special techniques
- Animal models
- A: Exposure to cigarette smoke, mimicking active or passive smoking
- B: Asthma models acute/chronic using HDM/ovalbumin
- C: Transgenerational animal models: in utero smoking
- A and B include online monitoring of total particulate matter and detailed phenotypic and molecular characterization of mothers and offspring (cotinine levels, CO-Hb, invasive lung function testing, molecular networks and immunology, propensity to asthma development in offfspring )
- MicroRNA profiling in sera and tissues
- Air liquid interface culture of human bronchial cells with induction of asthma-like phenotype
- Isolation and functional characterization of Exosomes
