Activation of ST2, an orphan member of the IL-1 receptor family for 16 years, drives T helper
type 2 (TH 2) responses. The cytokine IL-33 is the specific ligand for ST2. IL-33 recapitulates
much of the existing data that ST2 promotes TH 2-type responses. The caspase-1
processing of precursor IL-33 provides a therapeutic target to control allergic diseases.
