“…29 The data on TSLP during parasite infections are sparse, but unlike IL-25 and IL-33, which are critical for the expulsion of multiple parasites, TSLP appears to be involved only during T. muris but not N. brasiliensis or H. polygyrus infections, 14,32,33 and this is understandable given that TSLP is mainly expressed in the large intestine. 33 TSLP can be directly recognized by dendritic cells 54 as well as basophils, 55 again suggesting that epithelial-derived cytokines can bypass ILC2. Indeed, although the main target of IL-25, IL-33, and TSLP appear to be ILC2, it should be noted that both murine and human memory T cells are strongly activated by IL-25, 41,53 IL-33, 53,56,57 and TSLP, 53,58 without the need for T-cell receptor engagement, 57,59 thus being able to respond to antigen nonspecifically.…”
