There was a question on NBME form 2 asking about the agent implicated in epithelial damage in asthma. I thought it was LTC4, but apparently the answer is MBP. I looked it up and MBP does have a role in damage, but doesn't LTC4? Is this a bad question or is LTC4 mainly for bronchoconstriction/inflammation but less about damage?
 
Yeah I think its a choose the best answer situation. Per pathoma:
LTC4:
Increase bronchial tone
Increase Vascular tone
Increase vascular permeability

(LTB4 can cause damage indirectly by recruitment of Neutrophils, though not in asthma)

Major basic protein:

Directly from Goljan: "Eosinophils release major MBP and cationic protein. Damage endothelial cells and produce airway constriction. Curshmann spirals are shed epithelial cells that are the pathologic effect of MBP and cationic protein."
Per Pathoma: " MBP is enzyme present in Ephils that allows for O2 independent killing"
