Relaxin favors the development of activated human T cells into Th1-like effectors

Abstract excerpt

Differentiation of naive CD4+ helper T (Th) cells into Th1 or Th2 effectors, as characterized by their opposite pattern of cytokine production, can be influenced by several factors, including hormones. In this study, we demonstrate that porcine relaxin, at concentrations ranging from 10(-10) to 10(-6) M, favors the in vitro development of human antigen-specific T cells into Th1-like effectors and enhances both...
