The qualitative features of immune responses are influenced by the pol arization of helper T cells towards tars distinct phenotypes, Th1 and Th2. Recent evidence suggests that these helper cell subsets may be di fferentially recruited to the sites of different types of inflammatory reaction. (C) Current Biology Ltd.
