Mast cell activation is enhanced by Tim1:Tim4 interaction but not by Tim-1 antibodies

2016-07-08

Abstract excerpt

Polymorphisms in the T cell (or transmembrane) immunoglobulin and mucin domain 1 ( TIM-1 ) gene, particularly in the mucin domain, have been associated with atopy and allergic diseases in mice and human. Genetic- and antibody-mediated studies revealed that Tim-1 functions as a positive regulator of Th2 responses, while certain antibodies to Tim-1 can exacerbate or reduce allergic lung inflammation. Tim-1 can als...
