摘要：

Recent studies indicate that the human immune response to infection is regulated by the balance between the T helper type 1 cytokines. interleukin-2 and interferon-gamma, and the T helper type 2 cytokines. interleukin-4, interleukin-5 and interleukin-10. Interleukin-4 and interleukin-10 can facilitate antibody production but can also suppress cell-mediated immune responses. The net effect of these negative immunoregulatory cytokines is to favor progression of infection.
