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
While most of the focus in cancer immunology is on CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses, recent evidence indicates that CD4+ T cells are an equally critical component of the antitumor immune response. Successful immunity to cancer will therefore require activation of tumor-specific CD4+ T cells. Tu
