The Th1/Th2 paradigm and experimental murine leishmaniasis

International Archives of Allergy and Immunology

Abstract

In recent years, the Th1/Th2 concept has become of prime importance in the understanding of heterogeneous responses of the immune system and implications thereof for infectious and autoimmune diseases. Originally established on the basis of different cytokines produced by T cell clones, it is now known that the Th1/Th2 concept really defines totally different immune pathways that affect most if not all cells of the immune system. Murine experimental leishmaniasis was the first model to confirm the relevance of the Th1/Th2 concept in vivo. Herein, we summarize the current knowledge on the characteristics and generation of Th1 and Th2 cells, as well as on recent advances of the application of this concept to murine cutaneous leishmaniasis.

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.

Cancer Biology: Molecular Imaging

Molecular imaging enables noninvasive imaging of key molecules that are crucial to tumor biology. Discover the latest research in molecular imaging in cancer biology in this feed.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
