IRF4 knock-out cells do not differentiate properly into T helper subsets 2, 9, and 17. Compared to WT IRF4 point mutation L116R shows differentially expressed key cytokines. While amounts Th2 and Th17 cells are decreased, there is a strong induction of Th9 cells in cells carrying the L116R mutated IRF4.

T Cell Types and Functions

When T cells with CD4 markers are activated, they give rise to two types of effector cells: helper T cells and regulatory T cells. Meanwhile, T cells with CD8 markers differentiate into effector cytotoxic T cells. The differentiation of CD4 T cells into helper T cell subsets, such as Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells, is dependent on the antigen type, antigen-presenting cell, and regulatory cytokines.
