Thymic stromal lymphopoietin drives the development of IL-13 + Th2 cells
16 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
Significance T helper 2 (Th2) cells are defined by their ability to produce the hallmark cytokine IL-4. However, to mediate allergic inflammation in tissues, Th2 cells must secrete additional cytokines including IL-13 and IL-5. We used IL-4 and IL-13 dual-reporter mice to show that naive CD4 + T cells cultured in the presence of IL-4 and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) generate a population of IL-4 neg IL-13...
