Th2

Th2 refers to a type of immune response driven by a specific group of cells called T-helper 2 cells. These cells help protect the body against certain parasites, like worms, by promoting the production of antibodies and activating other immune cells. They also play a major role in allergic reactions, such as asthma or hay fever, by triggering inflammation and allergic symptoms. Th2 responses are an essential part of our immune system’s defense but can sometimes overreact, leading to allergies. Overall, Th2 cells coordinate immune activities related to allergies and parasitic infections.
