✦ Synopsis


Various characteristics of atopic allergic disorders seem to be causally related with the activation of allergen-specific T helper lymphocytes with a type 2 cytokine secretion profile, including high levels of interleukin-4 and interleukin-5. These cytokines are responsible for the occurrence of elevated levels of serum allergen-specific IgE and eosinophilia and play an important role in local inflammatory reactions.

## BACKGROUND. T helper type 1 cells (Th1), Th2, T cytotoxic type 1 cells (Tc1), and Tc2 play important immunoregulatory roles. Some recent studies have demonstrated that an elevated level of type 2 cytokines, such as interleukin-10, contributes to the ability of cancer cells to escape immunosurvei

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
