T-cell subsets: Recruiting the right kind of help

The qualitative features of immune responses are influenced by the polarization of helper T cells towards two distinct phenotypes, Th1 and Th2. Recent evidence suggests that these helper cell subsets may be differentially recruited to the sites of different types of inflammatory reaction.

T-Cell Subsets: The More the Merrier

This year, IL-17-producing T cells were recognized as a distinct lineage and soon thereafter, the cytokines responsible for their induction were delineated. Now, a transcription factor driving their development has been identified.

Modulation of CD4+ T Cell Subsets by Euphorbia microciadia and Euphorbia osyridea Plant Extracts

Background: Euphorbia plants are traditionally used in folk medicine for infections, inflammation, and cancer. Objectives: To investigate the effects of the butanolic extracts of Euphorbia micorociadia and Euphorbia osyridea on specific transcription factors and cytokines expression of T cell subsets. Methods: Activated mouse splenocytes were cultured in the presence of non-cytotoxic concentrat...
