| Introduction Cellular differentiation is a fundamental process in developmental biology. Progenitor cells must have the ability to differentiate into more specialized cell types for the body to respond to infections, eliciting an immune response. Murine CD4+ T cells can give rise to a variety of effector T, or “T helper”, cell subsets depending on the nature of the immune response, and subsequently release a distinct subset of cytokines. During T cell differentiation, a group of T helper (Th) cell subsets play a critical role in both the innate and adaptive immune response repertoire, defending the body against foreign pathogens.
