− | TH<sub>1</sub> cells interact with CD8<sup>+</sup>, NK and dendritic cells and TH<sub>2</sub> cells interact with B cells. TH<sub>1</sub> cells are involved with the control of intracellular pathogens and TH<sub>2</sub> cells extracellular pathogens. IL-2 produced by TH<sub>1</sub> cells stimulates further proliferation of CD4<sup>+</sup> cells. TH<sub>17</sub> cells are produced to enhance innate immunity, with the cytokines produced increasing the extravasation of neutrophils in particular.</p> | + | TH<sub>1</sub> cells interact with CD8<sup>+</sup>, NK and dendritic cells and TH<sub>2</sub> cells interact with B cells.

− | <p>TH<sub>0</sub> populations are CD4<sup>+</sup> cells that have yet to differentiate into TH<sub>1</sub>, TH<sub>2</sub> or TH<sub>17</sub> cells and they secrete IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IFN-γ. In the presence of IL-4 they develop into TH<sub>2</sub> cells while in the presence of IL-2 they develop into TH<sub>1</sub> cells. In the abscence of IL-2 TH<sub>1</sub> cells will change into TH<sub>2</sub> cells.
