T helper type 2 (Th2) Response (Th2 Response)
- Target
- Th2 Response
- Molecular classification
- Immune pathway, Cytokine signaling pathway
01
Overview
The T helper type 2 (Th2) response is a specialized arm of the adaptive immune system, primarily mediated by CD4+ Th2 cells. It orchestrates humoral immunity, crucial for defense against extracellular parasites and central to allergic diseases. Enhancement of this pathway leads to increased antibody production, eosinophil recruitment, and mucus hypersecretion. Therapeutic modulation involves targeting key cytokines and effector cells.

02
Mechanism of action
Varies depending on the targeted component; examples include blocking cytokine receptors (dupilumab), depleting eosinophils (mepolizumab/reslizumab), and stabilizing mast cells (cromolyn sodium).
