Abstract
In this issue of JEM, Schuijs et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20240103) highlight a novel role for basophils during allergic immune responses to house dust mites (HDM). They reveal that interleukin-33 (IL-33)-activated basophils facilitate the recruitment and extravasation of Th2 cells into the lungs during a specific time frame via their interactions with pulmonary endothelial cells.
