Outline of Final Research Achievements |
T helper cells especially Th2 cells play a triggering role in the allergic response, including oral allergies. However, the mechanism underlying the differentiation of T helper cells into Th2 cells has not been completely elucidated. Our group has studied various signaling molecules controlling the differentiation of T helper cells. We found a novel signaling molecule, which was expressed specifically in Th2 cells during the differentiation of T helper cells. We investigated the characterization and function of the signaling molecule. The expression of the signaling molecule, as in Th2 cells, was not found in other types of T helper cells. The signaling molecule could have some functions in cytokine production and cell migration in T cells.
