Preferential messenger RNA expression of Th1-type cells (IFN-gamma+, IL-2+) in classical delayed-type (tuberculin) hypersensitivity reactions in human skin.

Summary

It is suggested that cells infiltrating the site of the 24-h tuberculin reaction preferentially transcribe mRNA encoding IFN-gamma and IL-2, supporting the hypothesis that delayed-type hypersensitivity is associated with preferential activation of cells having a cytokine profile similar to the murine Th1 subset.
