Genetic mapping of a murine locus controlling development of T helper 1/T helper 2 type responses.
Genetic background of the T cell can influence T helper (Th) phenotype development, with some murine strains (e.g., B10.D2) favoring Th1 development and others (e.g., BALB/c) favoring Th2 development. Recently we found that B10.D2 exhibit an intrinsically greater capacity to maintain interleukin 12 (IL-12) responsiveness under neutral conditions in vitro compared with BALB/c T cells, allowing f...
متن کاملTim-2 regulates T helper type 2 responses and autoimmunity
Identification of the T cell immunoglobulin mucin-domain containing (Tim) gene family introduced a new family of cell surface molecules that is involved in the regulation of immune responses. We previously demonstrated that Tim-3 is expressed on terminally differentiated T helper (Th)1 cells, and serves to regulate Th1 immune responses. Here, we describe the identification and function of Tim-2...
متن کاملMurine leishmaniosis: a paradigm for the importance of T helper 1 and T helper 2 cells.
The murine model of leishmaniosis is a prototypic example for the critical role played by T helper cells in immunity to pathogens. Cytokines, such as interleukin-12 and interleukin-4, are the major regulatory factors for differentiation of naive T helper cells into T helper 1 and T helper 2 cells, respectively. T helper 1 cells, which are cellular immune mechanisms involving gamma interferon pr...
متن کاملT Helper 2 Cytokine Analysis of Bronchoalveolar Lavage in the Murine Model of Allergic Broncho Pulmonary Aspergillosis
Background and Aims: Aspergillus fumigatus is a sporadic fungus that causes different infections and allergies in immunocompromised patients. The allergic disease caused by this fungus is called allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA). ABPA is considred important in atopic and immunocompromised individuals, which can result in inflammation and epithelial damage. Therefore, the aim of thi...
متن کاملT helper type-2 cytokine responses: potential therapeutic targets.
T helper (Th)2 cell-mediated immune responses are associated with parasitic helminth infections and atopic disorders. The production of interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, IL-9 and/or IL-13 by Th2 cells mediates a range of responses that can be protective or pathogenic. Progress has recently been made in elucidating the mechanism of Th2 immunity, which has therapeutic potential for the treatment of aller...
