The temporal requirement of IL-4Rα signalling in allergic asthma and the role of IL-4Rα-responsive Regulatory T cells in restraining allergic airway inflammation

Allergic asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease driven predominantly by a TH2 immune response to environmental allergens. The asthma pathology is predominantly elicited by IL-4 and IL-13 signalling via IL-4Rα-signalling which is essential for driving TH2-type immunity to allergens. Interest...
