T Helper Cell Differentiation and Their Function

This book will focus on the differentiation and regulation of subsets of CD4+ T cells. It will also cover other aspects of research on these cells, which has made great advances in recent years, such as subsets' plasticity and their role in healthy and disease conditions. The book provides researchers and graduate students with a cutting-edge and comprehensive overview of essential research on CD4+ T cells.

Summarizes cutting-edge research on CD4+ T cells differentiation Covers all major subsets of CD4+ T cells, as well as two untypical ones, Th9 and Th22 Suggests potential applications associated with CD4+ T cells in the clinic Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
