Abstract
To the editor: Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is a multifunctional cytokine, produced by epithelial tissues, that signals through TSLP receptors (TSLPRs) and interleukin (IL)-7Rα[1][1] on B- and T-lymphocyte precursors, CD4+ T cells, and dendritic cells. TSLP plays an important role inKeywords
