Although type-2 immune responses evolved primarily to defend against extracellular helminths, in part through the co-opting of tissue repair and remodeling mechanisms, they are often inappropriately directed towards relatively innocuous allergens resulting in conditions including asthma, allergic rhinitis, food allergy, and atopic dermatitis. The recent discovery of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) has increased our understanding of the initiation of these responses and the roles played by CD4(+) T helper (Th) 2 cells in their modulation. This review focuses on the important messenger role of ILC2 in translating epithelial-derived alarmins into downstream adaptive type-2 responses via dendritic cells and T cells, with special emphasis on their roles in allergic disease.
