Th2 Cell:

Terms Related to Th2 Cell

• CD4-Positive T-Lymphocyte

  A critical subpopulation of regulatory T-lymphocytes involved in the induction of most immunological functions. The HIV virus has selective tropism for the T4 cell which ...

• Th1 Cell

  Subset of helper-inducer T-lymphocytes which synthesize and secrete interleukin-2, gamma-interferon, and interleukin-12. Due to their ability to kill antigen-presenting cells and their lymphokine-mediated effector activity, ...

• Suppressor Cell

  Subpopulation of CD8+ T-lymphocytes which suppress antibody production or inhibit cellular immune responses. Suppressor-effector cells execute the message received from suppressor-inducer cells (T-LYMPHOCYTES, SUPPRESSOR-INDUCER).

• Suppressor-Inducer T-Cell

  Subpopulation of CD4+ lymphocytes which induce CD8+ suppressor T-cells (T-LYMPHOCYTES, SUPPRESSOR-EFFECTOR) to suppress antibody production by B-cells. They also stimulate other cellular immune responses.

• T-Cell Subset

  A classification of T-lymphocytes, especially into helper/inducer, suppressor/effector, and cytotoxic subsets, based on structurally or functionally different populations of cells.
