CD4+ are helper T cells that help the activity of other immune cells by releasing cytokines. The cytokines prime the maturation of B cells, which become plasma cells and produce antibodies to ...

Helper cells traditionally thought to only assist killer white blood cells may be the frontline warriors when battling hepatitis A infection.

This new role for T cells was restricted to a subset of human helper type 17 T cells with specificity for Candida albicans and regulated by a T cell-intrinsic NLRP3 inflammasome.

New research reveals your gut’s friendly bacteria may also be setting off a dangerous chain reaction inside your body.

Adaptive immunity concerts two separate arms—humoral immunity driven by antibody-producing B cells, and cell-mediated immunity driven by “helper” T cells and “killer” T cells.

While CD4+ T cells are viewed as accessory cells regulating the function of immune cells, a new study reveal they can control melanoma.

Explore how T follicular helper cells indirectly control the anti-influenza immune response, which could lead to improvements in annual flu vaccine design.

So-called T helper cells secrete cytokines that attract other immune cells to the site of infection and trigger inflammation there. However, T helper cells can also counteract inflammation.

CD4+ T cells, or T helper cells, have various functions relating to the immune system. Learn more here.

Doctors and scientists have successfully tested a neoantigen-specific transgenic immune cell therapy for malignant brain tumors for the first time using an experimental model in mice.

The classical cytokine-centric 'instructional' paradigm of T helper cell differentiation cannot fully explain how T FH cells develop and function.

T cells are further grouped into two sub-types, CD4+ and CD8+ cells. CD4+ are helper T cells that help the activity of other immune cells by releasing cytokines.
