Allergen challenge in allergic rhinitis rapidly induces increased peripheral blood type 2 innate lymphoid cells that express CD84

J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2014 Apr;133(4):1203-5. doi: 10.1016/j.jaci.2013.12.1086. Epub 2014 Feb 28.

Abstract

Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) produce high levels of Th2 cytokines. Our study demonstrates that cat allergen challenge in allergic rhinitis subjects rapidly induces increased peripheral blood ILC2.
