3\ Every #parent will be familiar with the time spent cutting & slicing their kid's food to ensure they can eat with no issues. No matter how hard you try, there's always a chance their wandering hands will pick up something they shouldn't & potentially put them in danger.⁣

The authors then went on to show that IL-10 derived from Tfr cells are important for promoting peanut allergy-producing IgE production. (IL-10 is lesser understood cytokine but it is generally accepted as an immunosuppressant.) #immunology
