Journal Article

Dendritic cells produce IL-12 and direct the development of Th1 cells from naive CD4+ T cells.

TL;DR: In addition to inducing proliferation and clonal expansion of naive T cells, dendritic cells, by their production of IL-12, play a direct role in the development of IFN-gamma-producing cells that are important for cell-mediated immune responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Broadly targeted human cytomegalovirus-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells dominate the memory compartments of exposed subjects

TL;DR: The first glimpse of the total human T cell response to a complex infectious agent is provided and insight into the rules governing immunodominance and cross-reactivity in complex viral infections of humans is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of antigen dose on CD4+ T helper cell phenotype development in a T cell receptor-alpha beta-transgenic model.

TL;DR: It is shown that the antigen dose used in primary cultures could directly affect Th phenotype development from naive DO11.10 TCR-alpha beta-transgenic CD4+ T cells when dendritic cells or activated B cells were used as the antigen- presenting cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heterogeneity of intracellular cytokine synthesis at the single-cell level in polarized T helper 1 and T helper 2 populations.

TL;DR: Results show that stimulation in the presence of polarizing stimuli results in cells producing either IFN-gamma or IL-4, but that coproduction can occur in rare cells under defined conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reversibility of T helper 1 and 2 populations is lost after long-term stimulation.

TL;DR: It is shown that strongly polarized Th1 and Th2 populations assessed by immunoassay are heterogeneous using flow cytometry to detect single cells producing interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin 4 (IL-4), which may explain previous reports that Th1 cells can be converted to Th2 cells.
