Effects of TLR2 ligands on mRNA expression of Th2 cytokines from PBMCs in AD patients. PBMCs were incubated with PGN or Pam3CSK4 for 8 h. IL-5 (a), IL-13 (b), IL-31 (c), IL-33 (d) and TSLP (e) mRNA expression from PBMCs was determined by qPCR. Data were shown as 2^−ΔΔCt ± SEM. T-test was employed to compare the significant difference between AD patients and healthy individuals. **p < 0.01
