Key Points: 
  • Blocking signals sent through this channel with an investigational new drug called a CRAC channel inhibitor had a similar effect.
  • Allergic asthma is characterized by increased type 2 (T2) inflammation, which involves a subset of T cells called T helper (Th) 2 cells, say the study authors.
  • Without calcium entering through CRAC channels, T cells are unable to become Th2 cells and produce the cytokines that cause allergic asthma, the authors say.
  • "This suggests CRAC channel inhibition as a promising, potential future treatment approach for allergic airway disease."
