"Recent interest in the mechanisms of immune priming from exposures with our environment has focused of the concept of epithelial-derived cytokines, such as TSLP and IL-25. IL-33 is an IL-1 family cytokine that, along with its receptor ST2, has been extensively linked to allergic diseases from both clinical and experimental evidence. While it has been assumed to also be of epithelial origin, our findings describe a much more diverse role of this cytokine that extends to both its cellular sources and its capacity to direct the immune response."
