    Type 2 T helper (Th2) cells and group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) provide protection against helminth infection and are involved in allergic responses. However, their relative importance and crosstalk during type 2 immune responses are still controversial. By generating and utilizing mouse strains that are deficient in either ILC2s or Th2 cells, we report that interleukin (IL)-33-mediated ILC2 activation promotes the Th2 cell response to papain; however, the Th2 cell response to ovalbumin (OVA)/alum immunization is thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) dependent but independent of ILC2s. During helminth infection, ILC2s and Th2 cells collaborate at different phases of the immune responses. Th2 cells, mainly through IL-4 production, induce the expression of IL-25, IL-33, and TSLP, among which IL-25 and IL-33 redundantly promote ILC2 expansion. Thus, while Th2 cell differentiation can occur independently of ILC2s, activation of ILC2s may promote Th2 responses, and Th2 cells can expand ILC2s by inducing type 2 alarmins.
