Cellular immunity in lobomycosis (keliodal blastomycosis).
Previous assays for cellular immunity required antigen-specific T cells to proliferate and in the 1980s, numerous investigators showed that very few HIV antigen-specific CD4 T cells could be detected.
The author begins with a short overview of the immune system; the role of T cells, B cells, and interleukins; and major differences between cellular immunity (which is mediated by T-helper type 1 cells [Th 1 cells]) and humoral immunity (which is mediated by T-helper type 2 cells [Th 2 cells]).
