Two subsets of differentiated murine helper T cells, Th1 and Th2, based on secretion products in response to antigen have been described (Cher & Mosmann 1987, Coffman et al. 1988, Lopez et al. 1988, Paliard et al. 1988, Patel et al. 1988, Mosmann & Coffman 1989). To analyse immunological function of antigen-specific CD4+T cells in human schistosomiasis, we produced schistosomal egg antigen-specific T cell clones from a former patient. We identified four different types of CD4+ T cell clones by analysis of cytokine production. Two of the four types of the clones corresponded to murine Th1 or Th2 subsets; a third type was of the Th0 subset (Th1 + 2) and a fourth type produced IL-5 dissociated from IL-4. Analysis of the antigen(s) recognized by these T cell clones showed that all of the clones proliferated in response to soluble egg antigen(s) (SEA) found within a pl fraction whose pH was 5.2. T cell Western blot analysis of the stimulatory pl fraction demonstrated that the apparent Mr of the relevant antigens recognized by the clones were 38 kDa for the Th2 homologue, and 45-55 kDa for the Th1 homologue.

D002999 Clone Cells A group of genetically identical cells all descended from a single common ancestral cell by mitosis in eukaryotes or by binary fission in prokaryotes. Clone cells also include populations of recombinant DNA molecules all carrying the same inserted sequence.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000954 Antigens, Surface Antigens on surfaces of cells, including infectious or foreign cells or viruses. They are usually protein-containing groups on cell membranes or walls and may be isolated.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D012552 Schistosomiasis Infection with flukes (trematodes) of the genus SCHISTOSOMA. Three species produce the most frequent clinical diseases: SCHISTOSOMA HAEMATOBIUM (endemic in Africa and the Middle East), SCHISTOSOMA MANSONI (in Egypt, northern and southern Africa, some West Indies islands, northern 2/3 of South America), and SCHISTOSOMA JAPONICUM (in Japan, China, the Philippines, Celebes, Thailand, Laos). S. mansoni is often seen in Puerto Ricans living in the United States.
