IL-33 is a crucial amplifier of innate rather than acquired immunity

TL;DR: It is found that IL-1, but not IL-33, played a substantial role in induction of T cell-mediated type IV hypersensitivity such as contact and delayed-type hypersensitivity and autoimmune diseases such as experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis andIL-33 was important for innate-type mucosal immunity in the lungs and gut.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dcir deficiency causes development of autoimmune diseases in mice due to excess expansion of dendritic cells.

TL;DR: It is found that aged Dcir−/− mice spontaneously develop sialadenitis and enthesitis associated with elevated serum autoantibodies, which indicates that D cir is a negative regulator of DC expansion and has a crucial role in maintaining the homeostasis of the immune system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of IL-17-mediated delayed-type hypersensitivity is not affected by down-regulation of IL-25 expression.

TL;DR: IL-25 is not essential for differentiation of Th1, Th2 and Th17 cells in the sensitization phase or induction of local inflammation in the elicitation phase of the mBSA-induced DTH reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Amphiregulin Is Not Essential for Ovalbumin-Induced Acute Airway Inflammation in Mice

TL;DR: Amphiregulin is not essential for induction of acute airway inflammation by OVA in mice, and the role of AR in the pathogenesis of asthma is elucidated.
