lüll Eosinophils and allergic airway disease: there is more to the story Walsh ER; August ATrends Immunol 2010[Jan]; 31 (1): 39-44The eosinophil has been perceived as a terminal effector cell in allergic airway diseases. However, recent work has shown that this multifunctional cell could be more involved in the initial stages of allergic disease development than was previously thought, particularly with regard to the ability of the eosinophil to modulate T-cell responses. In this review, we discuss recent advances that suggest that eosinophils can present antigen to naive as well as to antigen-experienced T cells, induce T helper 2 cell development, cytokine production or both, and affect T-cell migration to sites of inflammation. These findings are changing the way that eosinophil function in disease is perceived, and represent a shift in the dogma of allergic disease development.|Animals[MESH]|Antigen Presentation[MESH]|Eosinophils/*immunology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Hypersensitivity/*immunology/pathology[MESH]|Lung/cytology/immunology[MESH]|T-Lymphocytes/immunology[MESH]|Th2 Cells/immunology[MESH] |
