  • The Th2 Type Immune Response in Health and Disease

    From Host Defense and Allergy to Metabolic Homeostasis and Beyond

    Edited by David Artis, William C. Gause ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    The type 2 immune response that develops during infectious disease has undergone major paradigm shifts in the last several years as new cell types and pathways have been identified. It is now clear that the type 2 immune response, characterized by elevations in specific cytokines, including IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13, is associated with helminth infections in both humans and mice. This response is ... Read more
