Investigating the epithelial barrier and immune signatures in the pathogenesis of equine insect bite hypersensitivity
28 Apr 2020
Abstract excerpt
Insect bite hypersensitivity (IBH) is a Th-2, IgE-mediated dermatitis of horses caused by bites of insects of the genus Culicoides that has common features with human atopic dermatitis. Together with Th-2 cells, the epithelial barrier plays an important role in development of type I hypersensitivities. In order to elucidate the role of the epithelial barrier and of the skin immune response in IBH we studied the...
