Classic functional partitioning of T-cell subsets is being questioned: in many bacterial and protozoan infections, CD8 T cells play a role in protection; two types of CD4 T helper cells have been characterized, one protective, the other exacerbating disease; finally, gamma delta T cells have been im

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
The purposes of this study were 2-fold: (i) To enumerate peripheral immunoregulatory T cell subsets in untreated patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and (ii) to examine the relationship between disturbances in the balance of lymphocyte subsets with liver disease and the presence
Dendritic cells (DCs) play a critical role in the initiation and regulation of immune responses. Recent advances have begun to uncover the nature and diversity of DC-pathogen interactions and the modulation of DC function by microbial stimuli. Antigen pulsed DCs have also been shown in several infec
Allergic reactions in atopic patients follow from a generalized enhanced polarization of Th cells, predominantly imposed by factors derived from antigen-presenting cells from a pathogen-stressed tissue; these sample information not only on antigen structures but also on the nature of the stress. Ant
