TIM-4 Expressed by Mucosal Dendritic Cells Plays a Critical Role in Food Antigen–Specific Th2 Differentiation and Intestinal Allergy

PC Yang, Z Xing, CM Berin, JD Soderholm, BS Feng… - Gastroenterology, 2007 - Elsevier
Background & Aims: Food allergy accounts for significant morbidity. The etiology and
immune mechanisms of food allergy, however, have remained poorly understood. In this
study, we aimed to determine the role of T-cell immunoglobulin-domain and mucin-domain
(TIM)-4, a recently identified member of cell surface molecules, in the pathogenesis of
intestinal allergy in a murine model. Methods: We report that TIM-4 as well as costimulatory
molecules were up-regulated in intestinal mucosal dendritic cells by in vitro or in vivo …

Abstract Background & Aims: Food allergy accounts for significant morbidity. The etiology
and immune mechanisms of food allergy, however, have remained poorly understood. In
this study, we aimed to determine the role of T-cell immunoglobulin-domain and
mucindomain (TIM)-4, a recently identified member of cell surface molecules, in the
pathogenesis of intestinal allergy in a mutine model. Methods: We report that TIM-4 as well
