Soluble ST2 suppresses IL-5 production by human basophilic KU812 cells, induced by epithelial cell-derived IL-33

Background: Epithelial cell-derived IL-33 has an important role in the initiation and activation of innate allergic inflammation. IL-33 acts as a cytokine through the ST2 receptor (ST2L) and it stimulates the production of Th2 cytokines. Soluble ST2 (sST2) may regulate Th2 responses by neutralizing...
