Pillars of Immunology review article

Friday, October 1, 2021

Dr. Georas published an invited review for the Pillars of Immunology series in the Journal of Immunology.  In a commentary titled “Inhaled Adjuvants and Eosinophilic Airway Inflammation in Asthma: Is a Little Bit of Lipopolysaccharide the Key to Allergen Sensitization?”, he described the groundbreaking paper by Stephanie Eisenbarth, published in J Exp Med in 2002, showing that low-doses of inhaled LPS prime for Th2 responses in mouse models of asthma. Drs. Georas and Eisenbarth engaged in a lively conversation with J Immunol editor Dr. Eugene Oltz in a Pillar Talk video.
