Topic: Th2


In the News (Tue 29 Dec 09)

  
  HON Allergy Glossary TH1/TH2
TH2 cells, the other subset of T-helper cells, are also involved in cell-mediated immune responses.
TH2 cell activity and secretions are thought to inhibit cell-mediated responses and to enhance the humoral response.
TH2 cells produce IL4, IL5, IL6, IL10 and IL13, which provide help to B cells and induce class switch to IgE and IgG1, as well as supporting eosinophils and mast cells.

 Helper T Cells
Th1 and Th2 cells have different chemokine receptors.
Th2 cells are produced when DC2-type dendritic cells present antigen to the T cell's receptor for antigen (TCR) and, presumably, one or more paracrine stimulants.
Chemokines are cytokines that are chemotactic for (attract) leukocytes.

Regulatory role of pro-Th1 and pro-Th2 cytokines in modulating the activity of Th1 and Th2 cells when B cell and macrophages are used as antigen presenting cells
Presence of antigen presenting cells, expression of costimulatory molecules, the strength of first signal and cytokine milieu are quite important in influencing the reactivation of differentiated Th1 and Th2 cells.
In the present study, we have analyzed the concerted action of pro-Th1 and pro-Th2 cytokines in the presence of B cells, peritoneal and splenic macrophages as antigen presenting cells and varied concentration of first (anti-CD3 Ab) and second (B7-1 transfectant) signals on the proliferation and cytokine secretion by Th1 and Th2 cells.

 Diagnose-Me: Condition: Immune System Imbalance (TH2 Dominance)
A healthy immune system is both balanced and dynamic: it should be balanced between Th1 and Th2 activity, switching back and forth between the two as needed.
If these two arms of the immune system could be balanced by stimulating Th1 and decreasing Th2, then many of the symptoms associated with these chronic illnesses would diminish or disappear and we would have found the answer to immune restoration and balance or the equivalent of a cure.
Whether impaired activity of the NK cells in chronic HCV infections is due to a dominance of TH2 lymphocytes remains to be seen.

Differentiation along the Th1 or Th2 pathway is triggered by stimulation with antigen (Ag), presented to the T-cell receptor in the context of MHC by the appropriate APC, and by a second signal, imparted by ligation of costimulatory molecules B7-1/B7-2 and CD28.
Th2 cell activation may be selectively blocked using inhibitors of GATA-3, a T cell–specific factor that controls the production of key Th2 cytokines.

 Th2-shift in schizophrenia: primary findings from whole blood in vitro production
In determining an immune response, the balance between two T helper lymphocyte subpopulations, Th1 and Th2, is believed to be pivotal and is therefore critical for the host defense and the pathogenesis of immune-mediated diseases (Agnello et al., 2003; McGuirk and Mills, 2002).
A few studies examined another main Th2 cytokine, IL-10, and demonstrated to be either unaltered (Cazzullo et al., 2002; Rothermundt et al., 1998) or augmented (Cazzullo et al., 1998).
Regardless of the role of cortisol in the cognitive function, cortisol seemed not to be the key reason for the Th2-shift in female schizophrenics because it was reported to induce a shift from Th1 to Th2 (Visser et al., 1998; Franchimont et al., 1998).
