In line with the aforementioned studies, CD103-/- mice sensitized and challenged with OVA or HDM exhibited increased eosinophilic infiltration, severe tissue inflammation, and heightened IL-5 and IFN-γ secretion from lung cells compared to WT mice, strengthening the notion that CD103 DCs display an important role in the control of airway inflammation in asthma [79,80]. The gene discussed is ITGAE; the disease is inflammatory response.
