                             (41). It controls the amount and role of NK cells, IL‐2, 
                             and IFNγ production (42) and their involvement in the 
                             activity of macrophages (12).

                             in the lungs and corneal epithelium (47). Calcitriol 
                             adjusts antimicrobial protein expression, which puts 
                             death to pathogens (48). It preserves renal epithelial

                             prevents IFNγ production (51), and is involved in 
                             reducing the expression of inflammatory factors by 
                             macrophages (34).

                             affects the function of T cells (22).

                             (42). It weakens extracellular trap (NET) construction,
