The study of mucociliary clearance included 68 patients with bronchial asthma of different severity in whom viscoelastic properties of the sputum, motor activity of ciliary epithelium, glycosaminoglycans in peripheral blood and bronchial secretion at the B9-B10 level of the bronchial tree were determined. Simultaneously, morphofunctional state of bronchial mucosa was evaluated using DNA methylation-specific PCR.
