Adenosine is an endogenous purine nucleoside, a catabolite of ATP that binds and activates ≥1 of 4 transmembrane G protein-coupled cell-surface adenosine receptors (ARs)-A<sub>1</sub>, A<sub>2A</sub>, A<sub>2B</sub>, and A<sub>3</sub>. Here, we studied the role of ARs in the regulation of cytokine production by ILC2s. We f ...[more]
