[75] | BALB/c |
Increased ILC2 in lung and BALF Lung ILC2 produced IL-5, IL-13, IL-4 IL-5 + and IL-13 + cells accounted for a significant proportion of ILC2 in lung and BAL The contribution of ILC2 cells to the total population of IL-5 + and IL-13 + cells in the BAL was in the same range as seen for Th2 cells. |

[76] | C57BL/6 | No elevation of IL-5, IL-13 and IL-33 in BAL | |
[77] | C57BL/6 | Elevation of eosinophils in BALF Elevation of lung ILC2, serum IgE and transcription level of IL-4 or IL-5 from lung RNA Leukocyte infiltration into the lung tissue, particular in the peribronchiolar and perivascular space. |
