Stimulation of allergen-loaded macrophages by TLR9-ligand potentiates IL-10-mediated suppression of allergic airway inflammation in mice

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Previously, we demonstrated that OVA-loaded macrophages (OVA-Mφ) partially suppress OVA-induced airway manifestations of asthma in BALB/c mice. <it>In vitro </it>studies showed that OVA-Mφ start to produce IL-10 upon inte...
