(A) Lymphocyte subpopulations in ALNs were measured using flow cytometry. theirex vivocytokine production profile, blood immunoglobulins and DC and ILC subpopulations in the lungs. == Results == Both DC and ILC2 were recruited to the lungs after multiple airway exposures to TDI, regardless of the prior dermal sensitization. However, prior dermal sensitization with TDI alone results in AHR and predominant eosinophilic airway inflammation, accompanied by a typical type 2 helper T (Th2) cytokine profile. == Conclusions == TDI-induced asthma is mediated by a predominant type 2 immune response, with the involvement of adaptive Th2 cells. However, from our study ON…
