Chuling Li; Yaxiong Xu; Xianglin Luo; Fajian Chen

Volume 18, Issue 3 , September 2021, Pages 188-194

https://doi.org/10.22034/iji.2021.85982.1734

Abstract
  Background: Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) promote allergic inflammation by producing interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-5, IL-9, and IL-13. IL-18 can promote T helper 2 cell (Th2) response by inducing IL-4, and IL-13 production from mast cells and basophils. However, the regulation of IL-18 on ILC2s remained ...  Read More
