Description

Dr. Saini summarises the potential role of type 2 cytokines in the pathogensis of CSU. IL-4 and IL-13 lead to cell isotype switching and cell migration. IL-31 is highlighted as a very important pruritogen. IL-33 acts by driving basophil activiation in the blood. This video was recorded at the UCARE 2023 conference during the ADVENT symposium ‘Targeting Type 2 Inflammation in CSU – Clinical and Mechanistic Implications’.
