  • Helper T cell differentiation enters a new era: le roi est mort; vive le roi!

    Tato CM, Laurence A, O'Shea JJ. J Exp Med. 2006; 203 (4): 809-12

    In the dark ages of T cell biology, we considered two fates for differentiated CD4+ T cells: T helper (Th)1 and Th2 cells. Now we know that the reality is much more complex and interesting. The newest Th cell subset produces the cytokine IL-17. New evidence shows that the IL-17-related cytokine IL-25 is essential for Th2 responses in two infectious disease models.
