Chitin recognition via chitotriosidase promotes pathologic type-2 helper T cell responses to cryptococcal infection.

Chitin recognition via chitotriosidase promotes pathologic type-2 helper T cell responses to cryptococcal infection.

Pulmonary mycoses are often associated with type-2 helper T (Th2) cell responses. However, mechanisms of Th2 cell accumulation are multifactorial and incompletely known. To investigate Th2 cell responses to pulmonary fungal infection, we developed a peptide-MHCII tetramer to track antigen-specific C...
