I wonder how this discovery about interleukin-9 relates to the research being done by inflazyme?

The study found more of the chemical, known as interleukin-9 (IL-9), in
tissue taken from the lungs of people with asthma than in tissue from healthy
lungs, they said.

Writing in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, the team at
McGill University in Montreal, Canada, and the Institut Pasteur in Lille,
France, said they believed drugs that cancel out the effects of IL-9 might
work to help treat asthma.

"Based on these results, the previous genetic mapping studies and the
biology of IL-9, it is our view that an antibody to IL-9 has significant
promise as a therapy for asthma," Dr. Qutayba Hamid, a professor of
medicine at McGill who led the study, said in a statement.
