Recent advances in eosinophil biology.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Activated eosinophils are thought to play an important role in allergic inflammation. Prior reports suggest that eosinophils have receptors recognizing IgA, IgG and IgE; however, little is known regarding the direct effects of antigens and antigen-specific immunoglobulins on the functions of eosinophils. ME...

Since the induction of allergen-specific Th1 responses has shown to inhibit allergen-induced Th2-type inflammation, in this study we investigated whether manipulated myeloid-derived DC pulsed with the specif...
