Immunointervention in Autoimmunity by Th1/Th2 Regulation (Molecular Biology Intelligence Unit) - Tapa dura

Examines key factors affecting the Th1/Th2 balance in differentiated T cells, especially antigens and cytokines influencing the development of Th1 and Th2 cells, and discusses potential manipulation of these variables to alter the natural course of autoimmune diseases. Subjects include role of cytokines in the regulation of T helper sets, heterogeneity of Th1 type responses to Type II collagen and implications for arthritis, and immunoregulation of experimental autoimmune diseases in the rat.
