Innate lymphoid cells: identification of their role in allergic asthma
... Mycoplasma pneumoniae bacteria are common causes of asthma exacerbations. Interestingly, a novel non-T/non-B lymphoid cell population, named group 2 innate lymphocytes (ILC2s), producing high amounts of IL-5 and IL-13 was recently discovered. Unlike Th2 cells, ILC2s are not antigenrestricted. ILC2s ...
