Migratory CD103+ dendritic cells suppress helminth-driven type 2 immunity through constitutive expression of IL-12

Everts et al. use Batf3−/− mice to examine the role of Batf3-dependent CD8α+ and CD103+ DCs in Th2 immunity in response to helminth infection. Loss of Batf3-dependent DCs resulted in rapid control of normally chronic infection with Heligmosomoides polygyrus, whereas liver fibrosis was exacerbated wi...
