    Heparan sulphate binding controls in vivo half-life of the HpARI protein family

    Florent Colomb, Abhishek Jamwal ... Henry J McSorley
    The HpARI family members can either suppress or amplify responses to IL-33, and also differ in their half-life in vivo due to binding to the extracellular matrix constituent, heparan sulphate.
