Chemerin suppresses murine allergic asthma by inhibiting <scp>CCL</scp>2 production and subsequent airway recruitment of inflammatory dendritic cells

Abstract

Our study demonstrates that chemerin plays a protective role in allergic asthma by suppressing airway recruitment of inflammatory CD11c(+) CD11b(+) DCs through the inhibition of CCL2 secretion by active lung epithelial cells.
