Abstract:
Infection with helminths and exposure to antigens induce a strong type 2 immune response resulting in the secretion of the cytokines IL-4 and IL-13 by CD4(+) T cells and several innate cell types. IL-4 and IL-13 promote class switch recombination to IgG1 and IgE while their role for germinal center (GC) formation is poorly understood. We found a dramatic reduction in the numbers of GC B cells when investigating different type 2 immune responses in IL-4/IL-13-deficient mice. IL-4/IL-13 from T cel...     »
