Group 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILC2): Type 2 Immunity and Helminth Immunity
Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) have emerged as a major component of type 2 inflammation in mice and humans. ILC2 secrete large amounts of interleukins 5 and 13, which are largely responsible for host protective immunity against helminth parasites because these cytokines induce profound changes...
