CD4+ helper T1 (TH1) cells and TH2 T cells secrete distinct but overlapping sets of cytokines. TH1 CD4+ cells are frequently activated in immune and
inflammatory reactions against intracellular bacteria or viruses, whereas TH2 CD4+ cells are frequently activated for certain types of antibody production
against parasites and extracellular encapsulated bacteria; they are also activated in allergic diseases. GM-CSF, granulocyte-macrophage colonystimulating factor; IFN, interferon; IL, interleukin; TNF, tumor necrosis factor. (Adapted from S Romagnani: CD4 effector cells, in Inflammation: Basic
Principles and Clinical Correlates, 3rd ed, J Gallin, R Snyderman [eds]. Philadelphia, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 1999, p 177; with permission.)
