In the study, blocking OX40/OX40L interactions reduced allergic responses in mice with TSLP-induced inflammation of the lungs or skin and in mice with chronic or acute asthma. In addition, the same approach reduced allergic responses in monkeys with dust-mite induced allergic asthma. The reduction in the severity of the allergic response was associated with a decrease in the generation of inflammatory cells and proteins, as well as the production of immune cells.
