Abstract
Highlights: [•] Perillyl alcohol (POH) is an isoprenoid which inhibits the mevalonate pathway. [•] We examined whether POH suppresses immune responses with a mouse model of asthma. [•] POH treatment during sensitization suppressed Ag-induced priming of CD4+ T cells. [•] POH suppressed airway eosinophila and cytokine production in thoracic lymph nodes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
