1,25D3 prevents CD8+Tc2 skewing and asthma development through VDR binding changes to the Cyp11a1 promoter

Type 2 CD8+ T cells (Tc2) play a role in the development of experimental asthma. Here the authors show that 1,25D3, the active form of vitamin D3, can prevent conversion of CD8+T cells to a Tc2 phenotype, reducing asthma susceptibility.
