Th2
-
Function
The TH2 subset responds to parasite infections by secreting cytokines that activate mast cells, basophils, and eosinophils. The mediators released by these cells induce contractions of smooth muscle that eject parasitic worms and protozoans from the gut and respiratory tracts. These same mechanisms cause the allergic reactions to pollen, nickel, and other harmless substances.
