%X While peanut allergy is a major medical problem, the immunologic mechanisms of the
disease have not been fully understood. Follicular helper T (Tfh) cells are specialized
in supporting B cell maturation and antibody production. The goal of this study was
to investigate the roles for Tfh cells in the development of peanut allergy by using
mouse models.
