Changes in peripheral ILC2 and the intracellular expression of Th2-related cytokines were detected by flow cytometry during and outside the pollen season. Peripheral Lin- cell population was isolated from each group and cultured with the presence of IL-25 or IL-33 for 7 d. The concentrations of IL-5 and IL-13 in culture supernatants were measured by ELISA. Expression of phospho-STAT6 at protein level was quantified by Western blot. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000Within the pollen season, the percentage of peripheral ILC2 cells was significantly higher in children with hay fever [(23.09±7.86)%] than in children with HDM-sensitized asthma [(6.84±3.85)%, P<0.05] and healthy children[(1.69±0.87)%, P<0.05].

BALB/c mice were immunized intranasally with rFLU/hMPV/B and rFLU/hMPV/CTL+ Th twice at a two-week interval. Virus-specific antibody titers and splenocyte cytokines were detected two weeks after the boost immunization.

It is mainly caused by Candida albicans and hard to be cured with routine antifungal therapy. Usually, CMC is a primary immunodeficiency disease and can be divided into two categories. The most common one is CMC disease (CMCD), which defined as Candida infection confined to the surface of the skin and mucous membranes and not complicated by systemic Candida albicans infection or other clinical symptoms. The other category is systemic CMC (SCMC) complicated by infections caused by other pathogens, systemic invasive fungal infections, or other clinical symptoms apart from the symptoms of CMCD. It is currently believed that both CMCD and SCMC are related to immunodeficiency caused by gene mutations related to IL-17 signal pathway. The inhibited Th17 proliferation, decreased secretion of IL-17 or IL-22 cytokine, or increased IL-17 or IL-22 neutralizing antibody induced by the mutations promoted the susceptibility to Candida or other pathogens. In the treatment of CMC, in addition to the traditional antifungal drugs such as azoles, polyenes and echinocandins, biological agents and target gene therapy offer potential new therapeutic strategies.
