Abstract excerpt
Pulmonary type 2 innate lymphocytes (ILC2s) show sex dimorphism in numbers, phenotype, and function. We used a novel strategy of competitive, mixed male-female donor bone marrow chimeras to determine if sex differences in murine ILC2s result from extrinsic factors in the recipient environment or from durable intrinsic variables in donor cells. We show that the recipient sex environment regulated ILC2 numbers and...
