Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: IL-9-secreting (T(H)9) T cells are thought to represent a distinct T-cell subset. However, evidence for their functionality in disease is uncertain. OBJECTIVE: To define a functional phenotype for T(H)9-driven pathology in vivo. METHODS: We used fluorescence-activated cell sorting to identify circulating T(H)9 cells in atopic and nonatopic subjects. In mice we utilized a model of allergic airways...
