The identification of helper T (TH)-cell subsets has greatly improved understanding of the regulation of immune effector functions. In addition to controlling humoral and delayed-type hypersensitivity responses, these subsets crossregulate by secreting mutually inhibitory cytokines. In this review, Tim Mosmann and Kevin Moore examine these phenomena and in particular the role of interleukin 10, a cytokine secreted by TH2 cells that inhibits TH1-cell function.
辅助性T(TH)细胞亚群的鉴定极大地增进了人们对免疫效应功能调节的理解。除了控制体液免疫和迟发型超敏反应外,这些亚群还通过分泌相互抑制的细胞因子进行交叉调节。在这篇综述中,蒂姆·莫斯曼和凯文·穆尔研究了这些现象,尤其探讨了白细胞介素10的作用,白细胞介素10是一种由TH2细胞分泌的细胞因子,可抑制TH1细胞的功能。
