The role of IL-12 in the induction of organ-specific autoimmune diseases

Immunology Today
S TrembleauL Adorini

Abstract

The concept that T cells are subdivided into T helper 1 (Th1) and Th2 subsets was recently extended to suggest that Th1 cells contribute to the pathogenesis of several organ-specific autoimmune diseases, whereas Th2 cells inhibit disease development. Here, Sylvie Trembleau and colleagues examine the role of interleukin 12 (IL-12), a key cytokine guiding the development of Th1 cells, in the induction of autoimmune diseases, and discuss potential immunointervention strategies based on administration of IL-12 antagonists.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
