Our results demonstrate that PKD1 in myeloid-lineage cells plays an essential role in the development and progress of HP caused by repeated exposure to S. rectivirgula by contributing Th1/Th17 polarizing proinflammatory responses, alveolitis, and accumulation of pathogenic nonconventional Th1 cells in the lungs. This evidence concerns the gene PKD1 and hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
