t has long been recognized that human X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency disease (X-SCID) is an inherited and usually fatal syndrome characterized by impaired T-cell development 1,2 . Affected patients lack T cells, but have a near normal number of B cells that primarily secrete IgM. The B-ce

Allergic sensitization and the development of effector functions are controlled by IL-4-secreting and IL-5-secreting type 2 T cells. Recent studies have provided new insights into the events triggering the development of type 1 and type 2 T cells, the discrimination of type 1 and type 2 effector T c
Peripheral tolerance is induced under conditions that avoid activation of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) to release cytokines. Such tolerance occurs in both CD4+ T helper (Th)-cell subsets (Th1 and Th2), probably because it is induced in precursor cells. By contrast, activation of APCs to release c
~6 T cells consist of multiple lineages of cells with distinct antigen receptor repertoires, tissue localization and function. Recent evidence suggests that the ordered appearance of these sublineages during development is a result of programed rearrangement of Vy-gene segments. It appears that the
