"We found that the CD4 + Th1 immune response, especially the cytokine IFN-γ, can force these dormant cells into a state where they can no longer grow or spread," said Brian Czerniecki, MD, Ph.D ...

The immune system relies on two primary types of immune responses -- Th1, which focuses on destroying threats once they have infected cells, and Th2, which combats pathogens like bacteria, ...

“We found that the CD4+ Th1 immune response, especially the cytokine IFN-γ, can force these dormant cells into a state where they can no longer grow or spread,” said Brian Czerniecki, ...

The two helper T cell classes also differ by the type of immune response they produce. While Th1 cells tend to generate responses against intracellular parasites such as bacteria and viruses, Th2 ...

On the other hand, the immune system generates a Th2 response that repairs damaged tissue, is anti-inflammatory and is thought to functionally neutralize Th1 responses.

The immune system relies on two primary types of immune responses—Th1, which focuses on destroying threats once they have infected cells, and Th2, which combats pathogens like bacteria, ...

T helper cell 1 (TH1): These coordinate the immune responses against pathogens within the cell, for example, bacteria. TH1 produces cytokines, proteins that can act on the immune system or ...
