#DirtyIsBetter

Environmentally driven immune imprinting protects against allergy - Nature In a mouse model, environmental immunostimulation in early life led to cross-reactive adaptive immune memory and reduced type II immune responses to allergens, indicating a mechanistic relationship be...

#DirtyIsBetter! @rmedzhitov.bsky.social, Erickson &co show @nature.com that pet shop mice are protected from #allergy thanks to cross reactive type I (or tolerogenic) immune memory that prevents type II allergen-driven responses! doi.org/10.1038/s415...
