The researchers discovered that CD4 + Th1 cells, a type of immune cell, play a key role in targeting and eliminating dormant cancer cells. These cells, which can remain hidden in the body, have ...

Th1 cells can mount an anti-cancer response but are short-lived, while Th17 cells have greater longevity but are unable to mount a response. Combining the two harnesses the strengths of both ...

Improper self-antigen recognition by DCs and T-cell initiates, through release of specific cytokines (as described above), destructive Th1 or Th2 responses. RA, for example, is characterized by an ...

This produces large amounts of type 1 helper T (TH1)- cell-inducing cytokines through a specific interaction with Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), which acts as an intrinsic adjuvant. The vaccine ...
