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 …
