Using a congenic mouse strain on the BALB/c background, this study identified a locus on chromosome 11 that provided resistance to allergen-induced airway hyperreactivity (AHR). By reducing the congenic interval, the study excluded the II4-gene family but included the Tim-gene family in the interval. The authors also showed that there were polymorphisms in Tim1 and Tim3 genes in the AHR-susceptible and -resistant strains of mice.

The authors showed that TIM1 is shed as a result of cleavage by a metalloproteinase and that there are tissue-specific splice variants of TIM1 that have or lack the tyrosine-kinase phosphorylation motif.

This study identified semaphorin 4A (sema4A) as the ligand for mouse Tim2. Antibodies specific for sema4A resulted in the inhibition of T-cell proliferative responses and cytokine production, and blocked the development of EAE in mice.
