Mucosal allergic sensitization to cockroach allergens is dependent on proteinase activity and proteinase-activated receptor-2 activation
We have shown that proteinase-activated receptor-2 (PAR 2) activation in the airways leads
to allergic sensitization to concomitantly inhaled Ags, thus implicating PAR 2 in the …
