From IL-10 to IL-12: how pathogens and their products stimulate APCs to induce TH1 development

Nature Immunology volume 10, pages 929–932 (2009)Cite this article

The authors recount their discovery of how pathogen-induced interleukin 12 production leads to TH1 T cell polarization. Simultaneously they discovered the suppressive cytokine interleukin 10 inhibits antigen-presenting cells, thus regulating development of TH1 cells.
