Abstract / Description of output

Atopic dermatitis is a common inflammatory skin disease of humans and dogs. Human atopic dermatitis is associated with Th2-type responses, although Th1 cytokines can be identified in chronic lesions. In contrast, tolerance to environmental allergens in healthy individuals is mediated by regulatory T cells.
