Abstract

Interleukin (IL)‑21 is a newly discovered member of the type I cytokine family. Since its discovery in 2000, IL‑21 has been the focus of extensive investigation, due to its homology to IL‑2, IL‑4 and IL‑15 and its pleiotropic effects on innate and adaptive immune responses. an increasing amount of experimental evidence supports a role for IL‑21 in the pathogenesis of several allergic diseases, such as allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis (AD) and atopic asthma. In this review, we aimed to discuss the biological characteristics of IL‑21 and summarize the current progress on the role of IL‑21 in the regulation of allergic inflammation.
