T-Cell Subsets: Who does the polarizing?

T cells can 'polarize' into T1 and T2 effector cell types in response to distinct cytokines. T cells and cells presenting antigen to the T cells are themselves candidate sources of these polarizing cytokines.

A Comparative Study of the T Cell Stimulatory and Polarizing Capacity of Human Primary Blood Dendritic Cell Subsets.

Dendritic cells (DCs) are central players of immune responses; they become activated upon infection or inflammation and migrate to lymph nodes, where they can initiate an antigen-specific immune response by activating naive T cells. Two major types of naturally occurring DCs circulate in peripheral blood, namely, myeloid and plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs). Myeloid DCs (mDCs) can be subdivided based on...

T-Cell Subsets: The More the Merrier

This year, IL-17-producing T cells were recognized as a distinct lineage and soon thereafter, the cytokines responsible for their induction were delineated. Now, a transcription factor driving their development has been identified.
