T Helper Cell 1 Immune Responses and Atherogenesis – (07-12-01)



T Helper Cell 1 Immune Responses and Atherogenesis

Remember from previous Updates that the body has two types of immune responses where T cells are concerned: Th1 is the attack mode designed to attack foreign things in the body and Th2 is the guard dog mode designed to keep stuff out of the body. We need a healthy balance between the two to avoid autoimmune diseases and atopy. This article looks at the contribution of Th1 to atherogenesis.
