Overview
A short report on the interaction of Th1 and Th2 lymphocyte subpopulations in the regulation of immune processesis reviewed. Th1 and Th2 subsets have been characterized on the basis of cytokines they secrete and the immunefunctions they mediate and also on the basis of cytokine and chemokine receptor expression. The clinical anddiagnostic influence of immune processes in pathological stages is also mentioned.
Key words:
