Journal ArticleDOI

Helper T-cell subsets: phenotype, function and the role of lymphokines in regulating their development.

TL;DR: The studies suggest these emerging memory cells may be phenotypically unique and postulate that they are specialized to become a "long-lived" population of memory cells that will persist indefinitely as a protective population of increased frequency for the antigen encountered and which is also able to respond more rapidly and effectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lactobacillus plantarum 299V in the treatment and prevention of spontaneous colitis in interleukin-10-deficient mice.

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that L. plantarum can attenuate immune-mediated colitis and suggest a potential therapeutic role for this agent in clinical inflammatory bowel diseases.
Journal Article

Transforming growth factor-beta and IL-4 cause helper T cell precursors to develop into distinct effector helper cells that differ in lymphokine secretion pattern and cell surface phenotype.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that TGF-beta favors the development of a population(s) of Th cells that is likely to give rise to memory cells is proposed although IL-4 favorsDevelopment of a short-lived effector population that secretes Th2 lymphokines is proposed.
