    Abstract

    Thymic stromal lymphopoietin, a four helix-bundle cytokine, is expressed mainly by barrier epithelial cells and is a potent activator of several cell types, particularly myeloid dendritic cells. TSLP influences the outcome of interactions between dendritic cells and CD4+ thymocytes and T cells in many situations, such as the regulation of the positive selection of regulatory T cells, maintenance of peripheral CD4+ T cell homeostasis and induction of CD4+ T cell-mediated allergic inflammation.
