Follicular helper T cells in immune homeostasis [PDF]

Cellular & Molecular Immunology, 2012
In recent years, follicular helper T (TFH) cells have become a hot topic for immunologists due to their pivotal role in modulating antibody-mediated immune responses. Although helper T (TH) 2 cells have long been known to provide help for B-cell responses, TFH cells have been identified only recently as a distinct lineage of TH cells that is specific ...

IL-21 and T follicular helper cells [PDF]

International Immunology, 2009
Upon encounter with antigen, CD4(+) T cells differentiate into effector T(h) subsets with distinctive functions that are related to their unique cytokine profiles and anatomical locations. One of the most important T(h) functions is to provide signals to developing B cells that induce specific and appropriate antibody responses. The major CD4(+) T cell

Th1-like Plasmodium-Specific Memory CD4+ T Cells Support Humoral Immunity

Cell Reports, 2017
Summary: Effector T cells exhibiting features of either T helper 1 (Th1) or T follicular helper (Tfh) populations are essential to control experimental Plasmodium infection and are believed to be critical for resistance to clinical malaria.

Early-onset primary antibody deficiency resembling common variable immunodeficiency challenges the diagnosis of Wiedeman-Steiner and Roifman syndromes [PDF]

, 2017
Syndromic primary immunodeficiencies are rare genetic disorders that affect both the immune system and other organ systems. More often, the immune defect is not the major clinical problem and is sometimes only recognized after a diagnosis has been made ...

Follicular Helper T Cells in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
CD4+ follicular helper T (Tfh) cells constitute a subset of effector T cells that participate in the generation of high-affinity humoral responses. They express the chemokine receptor CXCR5 and produce the cytokine IL-21, both of which are required for ...

Advances in the role of helper T cells in autoimmune diseases

Chinese Medical Journal, 2020
. Autoimmune diseases are primary immune diseases in which autoreactive antibodies or sensitized lymphocytes destroy and damage tissue and cellular components, resulting in tissue damage and organ dysfunction.

TSLP-activated dendritic cells induce human T follicular helper cell differentiation through OX40-ligand. [PDF]

, 2017
T follicular helper cells (Tfh) are important regulators of humoral responses. Human Tfh polarization pathways have been thus far associated with Th1 and Th17 polarization pathways. How human Tfh cells differentiate in Th2-skewed environments is unknown.

Life of T Follicular Helper Cells

Molecules and Cells, 2015
Antibodies are powerful defense tools against pathogens but may cause autoimmune diseases when erroneously directed toward self-antigens. Thus, antibody producing cells are carefully selected, refined, and expanded in a highly regulated microenvironment (germinal center) in the peripheral lymphoid organs.

Elevated Proportions of Circulating CXCR5+ Follicular Helper T Cells Reflect the Presence of Airway Obstruction in Asthma

Journal of Immunology Research
Rationale. The progressive decline in lung function observed in asthma is attributed to persistent type 2 airway inflammation and associated airway remodeling. While various immune cells are involved in localized type 2 airway inflammation, whether these

Human Lymphoid Stromal Cells Contribute to Polarization of Follicular T Cells Into IL-4 Secreting Cells

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) are the specialized lymphoid stromal cells initially identified as triggering T-cell recruitment and dynamic motion in secondary lymphoid organs.
