High impact information on TRAC

Taken together, naive T cells in asthma have a peculiar function to produce TRAC and MDC, which contribute to local migration of Th2 cells into lung and lymphoid tissues, along with a function as precursor for memory/effector T cell [1].
SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, Current Awareness in Clinical Toxicology, Info Trac, http://www.google.com.au, and Science Citation Index of studies identified by the previous searches [2].
Asthma control in Canada remains suboptimal: the Reality of Asthma Control (TRAC) study [3].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of TRAC

TRAC analysis was highly reproducible, providing expression results that were consistent with conventional Northern blot analysis [4].
