During the past year significant advances have been made in our understanding of the factors contributing to the differentiation of CD4 T helper cell subsets. These have been driven, in part, by the realization that signals (cytokines) from the innate immune response are critical in T cell subset di

Allergen-specific T cells from atopic patients generally belong to the T-helper type 2 subset. IL-4 and IL-13 produced by these cells induce IgE synthesis by B cells and play a major role in allergic disease mediated by IgE. Recent advances in our understanding of the differentiation and IgE-inducin
We have analyzed the role of cognate interaction with helper T cells (Th) in support of resting B cell differentiation to plaque formation. Co-culture of histoincompatible resting B cells and resting Th cells resulted in the induction of plaque-forming cells when dimeric but not monomeric fragments
## Abstract Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells regulate the Tβhelper (Th) 1/2 balance and elicit either enhancement or suppression of the immune responses. However, the exact mechanism by which iNKT cells exert these contrasting functions has remained elusive. We demonstrate herein that two ma
