Abstract
Farm exposures protect against allergen-induced Th2 activation, but induce neutrophilic lung inflammation. RAW 264.7 cells were differentiated into MHCIIhi, CD206hi and IL10+ phenotypes and cultured with farm dust extract. Farm dust exposure inhibited CD206hi and induced IL-10+ macrophages, suggesting a role for macrophages on the protective effect of farm exposures.
