To clarify the possible involvement of the type 2-initiating cytokines interleukin (IL)-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) in the pathophysiology of allergic conjunctivitis, we evaluated ragweed (RW)-induced experimental allergic conjunctivitis (EAC) models by using IL-25 knockout (KO), IL-33 KO, and TSLP receptor (TSLPR) KO mice.
