Abstract

Effector T cell responses have long been viewed in the context of the Th1/Th2 paradigm. Recently, a third major subset of nonpolarized effector T cells that provides help to B cells has been identified. These T cells, termed T follicular helper (TFH) cells, home to the B cell areas of secondary lymphoid tissue, through interactions mediated via the chemokine receptor CXCR5 and its ligand CXCL13. Affymetrix microarrays were used to identify transcription factors, cytokines, and cell surface molecules that underlie the differentiation pathways and functional properties of the TFH subset. The transcriptional profile of human CXCR5+ TFH cells was compared with that of Th1 and Th2 cells, which enabled the identification of numerous genes expressed preferentially by TFH cells, over the other effector subsets. Certain TFH genes were also expressed by B cells and thus appear to be particularly relevant for humoral immunity. Abs were used to confirm the expression of several factors. In particular, CD84 and CD200, the cytokine IL-21, and the transcription factor BCL6 were all strongly associated with TFH cells. Gene microarrays reveal a highly distinctive transcriptional profile for a third subset of effector T cells that differs markedly from Th1 and Th2 cells.

Tfh cells are controlled by the transcription factor Bcl6.
“Tfh cells are controlled by the transcription factor Bcl6 [197]”
From Guidelines for the use of flow cytometry and cell sorting in immunological studies (third edition) (2021) · cites this paper as [197]
The Discussion (page not supplied) reports that Tfh cells preferentially express BCL6 and suggests that BCL6 may act as a switch determining Th2 versus Tfh cell fate. It also says that a transcription factor directing Tfh differentiation had not yet been identified, so the categorical claim that BCL6 controls Tfh cells overstates the paper. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
