Immunomodulatory innate defence regulator (IDR) peptide alleviates airway inflammation and hyper-responsiveness.

This study demonstrates that an immunomodulatory IDR peptide controls the pathophysiology of asthma in a murine model. As IL-33 is implicated in steroid-refractory severe asthma, our findings on the effects of IDR-1002 may contribute to the development of novel therapies for steroid-refractory severe asthma.
