Different subsets of dendritic cells (DCs) appear to play a role in determining the specific
cytokines secreted by T helper (Th) cells. A model is proposed that links together factors
such as the pathogen, microenvironment, DCs and T cells in a mechanism that results in a
flexible determination of T-cell polarization.

Different subsets of dendritic cells (DCs) appear to play a role in determining the specific cytokines secreted by T helper (Th) cells. A model is proposed that links together factors such as the pathogen, microenvironment, DCs and T cells in a mechanism that results in a flexible determination of T-cell polarization.
