[Regulation of Ige synthesis and cytokines in selected allergic diseases].

Some of CD4+ helper T cells-mediated mechanisms of IgE synthesis were discussed. The present division of helper T cells population into Th1 and Th2 subsets reflects their role in the induction as well as in the control of immune response. The Th1 cells are involved mainly in the cellular immune responses, and Th2 cells in the humoral immune responses, including IgE synthesis. Development of investigations on cytokines and evaluation of their influence on regulation of IgE synthesis may have a role in the treatment of allergic diseases in the future.
