Th1/Th2 cells, their associated molecules and role in pathophysiology

Eur Cytokine Netw. 2000 Sep;11(3):510-1.

Abstract

Cytokines, chemokines, and/or chemokine receptors associated with type 1 T helper (Th1) or Th2 cells play a role in different physiological conditions, such as T lymphopoiesis and pregnancy, as well as in pathological conditions, such as unexplained recurrent abortions, proliferative glomerulonephritis, and control of angiogenesis.
