These data demonstrate an interaction between allergen and TLR ligand exposure in asthmatics. Allergen inhalation augments the TLR-induced inflammatory response by HPC, possibly leading to increased "in situ haemopoiesis" through up-regulation of TSLPR. These findings show that HPC may be a part of the pro-inflammatory cascade in pathogen-induced asthma exacerbation through their increased responsiveness to TLR stimulation.
