Blockade of TGF-β but not IL-10 antagonizes the 1,25 OH-vitamin D3 suppression of Aspergillus-induced Th2 responses in CD4+ T cells from patients with ABPA.

CD11c+ DCs or TSLP-DCs from patients with ABPA (n = 5) were pulsed with ASPEXT, followed by the addition of autologous bulk CD4+ T cells, followed by addition of 1,25 OH-vitamin D3, with or without recombinant human TGF-βRII Fc chimera (A and B) or anti–IL-10 (C and D). Cells were incubated for 96 hours, and IL-5 and IL-13 were measured in cell supernatants using Luminex. *P < 0.05 by paired t test.
