Regulation of Th2 Responses and Allergic Inflammation through Bystander Activation of CD8+ T Lymphocytes in Early Life
21 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
Th2-biased immune responses characterizing neonates may influence the later onset of allergic disease. The contribution of regulatory T cell populations in the prevention of Th2-driven pathologies in early life is poorly documented. We investigated the potential of CD8(+) T cells stimulated at birth with alloantigens to modulate the development of allergic airway inflammation. Newborn mice were immunized with...
