T cells are divided into two distinct populations, which behave either as cytotoxic T cells or helper T cells (TH cells)
TH cells may be sub-divided into TH1 and TH2
TH1 are pro-inflammatory T cells and stimulate macrophages
TH2 orchestrate B cell differentiation and maturation and hence are involved in the production of humoral immunity (antibody mediated)
