Interleukin 13 and Related Cytokines

  • Chapter
Blood Cell Biochemistry

Part of the book series: Blood Cell Biochemistry ((BLBI,volume 7))

Abstract

The function of CD4-positive, T helper cells is pivotal to the workings of the specific immune system. These cells direct antibody responses to protein antigens and influence cellular immunity by activating macrophages and instigating delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions. T helper cells perform these functions partially through altered expression of cell surface antigens, such as the CD40 ligand, gp39; and partially by the secretion of a large range of cytokines that have effects on various immune and hematopoetic cells.
