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.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of GWAS studies for asthma from multiancestral cohorts identifies five new loci and finds that the asthma-associated loci are enriched near enhancer marks in immune cells, suggesting a major role of these loci in the regulation of immunologically related mechanisms.
Journal Article

Selective growth of human mast cells induced by Steel factor, IL-6, and prostaglandin E2 from cord blood mononuclear cells.

TL;DR: Electron-microscopic analysis revealed that some of the cultured mast cells are morphologically mature since they filled with scroll granules and contained crystal granules.
