The existence of subsets of CD4+ helper T lymphocytes that differ in their cytokine secretion patterns and effector functions provides a framework for understanding the heterogeneity of normal and pathological immune responses. Defining the cellular and molecular mechanisms of helper-T-cell differentiation should lead to rational strategies for manipulating immune responses for prophylaxis and therapy.

TLDR
Evidence is emerging that a signaling pathway involving the SAP molecule may play an important role in this differentiation process of periperal T cells into TH1 and TH2 subsets.

TH1 and TH2 cells: different patterns of lymphokine secretion lead to different functional properties.
TLDR
Two types of cloned helper T cells are described, defined primarily by differences in the pattern of lymphokines ynthesized, and the different functions of the two types of cells and their lymphokine synthesis are discussed.

Heterogeneity of intracellular cytokine synthesis at the single-cell level in polarized T helper 1 and T helper 2 populations
TLDR
Results show that stimulation in the presence of polarizing stimuli results in cells producing either IFN-gamma or IL-4, but that coproduction can occur in rare cells under defined conditions.

Differential regulation of murine T lymphocyte subsets.
TLDR
Understanding the mechanisms that differentially regulate the various kinds of T cells, in addition to providing insights into the molecular events associated with activation of those subsets, should facilitate modulation of their activities in vivo, making it possible to influence favorably the outcome of disease processes.
Regulation of antibody isotype secretion by subsets of antigen-specific helper T cells
TLDR
The results show that both types of TH cells induce the secretion of IgM and IgG3, whereas clones of TH1 and TH2 cells specifically induce antigen-specific B cells to secrete IgG2a and Igg1, respectively.

TLDR
Research on T lymphocyte-parasite interactions is crucial for the design of effective vaccines and immunotherapies and thus has broad practical as well as theoretical ramifications.
