Immunology Today 

TL;DR: The increasing number of T-cell subsets defined by cytokine patterns; the differentiation pathways of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells; the contribution of other cell types to these patterns; and the cytokine interactions during infection and pregnancy are discussed.

TL;DR: This review outlines the principal cellular and molecular mechanisms that control initiation of the tissue response at the site of injury, the recruitment of the systemic defense mechanisms, the acute phase response of the liver and the resolution of the acutephase response.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors hypothesize that TH2 cytokines inhibit TH1 responses, improving fetal survival but impairing responses against some pathogens, since pregnant females are susceptible to intracellular pathogens and are biased towards humoral rather than cell mediated immunity.

TL;DR: In vivo studies with H-2-deficient targets that support the 'missing self' hypothesis are reviewed and testable predictions for how MHC class I molecules act in cases where they control a rate-limiting step in the NK cell-target interaction are derived.
