Type 2 inflammation, which can be both systemic and local, is characterized
by immune dysregulation and epithelial barrier dysfunction.1-3
See the Type 2 inflammatory pathway in action for:
* IL-4 drives differentiation of naive CD4(+) T cells to Th2.
FcεR1, high-affinity IgE receptor; ILC2, type 2 innate lymphoid cell; TSLP, thymic stromal lymphopoietin.
