Th2dominated
Th2dominated refers to a condition characterized by an overactive T helper 2 (Th2) immune response. T helper cells are a type of lymphocyte that plays a crucial role in the adaptive immune system. They are broadly classified into different subsets, including Th1 and Th2 cells, each with distinct functions. Th1 cells are primarily involved in cell-mediated immunity, combating intracellular pathogens like viruses and bacteria. Th2 cells, on the other hand, are important for humoral immunity, orchestrating responses against extracellular parasites and contributing to allergic reactions.
In a Th2-dominated state, there is an imbalance in the immune system, with Th2 cells being disproportionately
Conditions often associated with a Th2-dominated immune profile include asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis (eczema), and
