| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Platelets are known to be involved in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases, but the mechanism is unknown. In this study, we found that full-length IL-33 is expressed in platelets. In addition, platelet-derived IL-33 was confirmed to have biological activity by examination using the mouse asthma model, deeply involved in Type 2 inflammation, and to be involved in the pathogenesis of allergic airway inflammation .
