Abstract

Allergens induce type-2 immunity, but unresolved questions remain about initiation of this response. In this issue, Perner et al. propose that cutaneous activation of TRPV1 sensory neurons by protease allergens stimulates release of substance P to induce migration of Th2-skewing CD301b DC to draining lymph nodes.
