Cell-mediated immunity represents an adaptive immune response that microbes inside host cells trigger. T lymphocytes mediate it, and unlike humoral immunity, only T cells, not antibodies, can transfer it. This response is essential for defending against intracellular infections and regulating various immune processes.<\/p>\n

CD4+<\/a> helper T lymphocytes are capable of differentiating into several effector cell types, each specialized in combating different pathogens. One of the main subsets is the Th1 cells<\/strong>, which secrete IFN-<\/strong>\u03b3<\/strong> and specialize in defending against intracellular microbes by activating macrophages to kill phagocytosed pathogens. This process releases reactive species and enzymes, triggering inflammation that may also cause tissue damage.<\/p>\n

These cells promote IgE<\/strong> production by B cells, facilitating mast cell degranulation and inflammation. Additionally, IL-5 activates eosinophils, which destroy helminths but can also damage host tissues. A third subset of CD4+ cells is Th17 cells<\/strong>, which play a crucial role in defending against extracellular fungi and bacteria. These cells promote neutrophil-rich inflammation and can also contribute to the tissue damage observed in autoimmune diseases.<\/p>\n

Cytokines from antigen-presenting cells (APCs), T cells, and other immune cells regulate the differentiation of na\u00efve T cells into effector subsets. Transcription factors control this process by activating specific cytokine genes, ensuring stable differentiation toward a particular T cell type. Cytokines from each subset promote its development and limit other populations, boosting immune response polarization.<\/p>\n

Another relevant group in cell-mediated immunity is \u03b3\u03b4<\/strong> T cells<\/strong>, which have receptors with limited diversity and do not require antigen presentation through the major histocompatibility complex (MHC).<\/a> These cells can recognize a variety of antigens, produce cytokines, and participate in host defense and inflammatory diseases.<\/p>\n

In summary, cell-mediated immunity is crucial for defending against various pathogens, including intracellular ones, helminths, and fungi. T cells regulate inflammation and differentiate into subsets, balancing infection protection and preventing autoimmune diseases or tissue damage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
