Unique ID: D018418
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018418
Scope Note: A subset of helper-inducer T-lymphocytes which synthesize and secrete the INTERLEUKINS IL-4; IL-5; IL-6; and IL-10. These cytokines influence B-cell development and antibody production as well as augmenting humoral responses.
