Fungal chitin-binding glycoprotein induces Dectin-2-mediated allergic airway inflammation synergistically with chitin.

Although chitin in fungal cell walls is associated with allergic airway inflammation, the precise mechanism underlying this association has yet to be elucidated. Here, we investigated the involvement of fungal chitin-binding protein and chitin in allergic airway inflammation. Recombinant Aspergillus...
