In Pglyrp3−/− and Pglyrp4−/− mice reduced numbers of Treg cells allow dominating expansion of Th17 cells, which can increase inflammatory responses in the atopic dermatitis model, but may reduce Th1-mediated response in the contact dermatitis model by shifting T cell differentiation into Th17 cells instead of Th1 cells. Here, PGLYRP3 is linked to atopic eczema.
