Th1 vs th2 activation

TH1 immune response is a proinflammatory response that leads to cell-mediated immunity. Here, the activated macrophages phagocytose and digest intracellular bacteria and protozoa. However, the overactivation of the TH1 immune response can recognize self-antigens , causing Type 4 delayed-type hypersensitivity, a category of autoimmunity.

TH2 immune response is the immune response TH2 cells generate against extracellular paras ites such as helminths. Figure 2: T Helper Cell Function. Moreover, the TH2 immune response is an anti-inflammatory response, which leads to the humoral immune response.

These antibodies, in turn, stimulate mast cells to release histamine, serotonin, and leukotriene, causing broncho -constriction, intestinal peristalsis, gastric fluid acidification to expel helminths. Moreover, IL-5 activate eosinophils to attack helminths. Also, IL suppresses Th1 cells differentiation and the action of dendritic cells. Never miss a new TechNote!

By contrast, type 2 Th Th2 cells produce IL-4, IL-5, IL, and IL, which are responsible for strong antibody production, eosinophil activation, and inhibition of several macrophage functions, thus providing phagocyte-independent protective responses.

IL drives a pathogenic T cell population that induces autoimmune inflammation. A distinct lineage of CD4 T cells regulates tissue inflammation by producing interleukin IL production from activated T cells is required for the spontaneous development of destructive arthritis in mice deficient in IL-1 receptor antagonist.
