Here are two nice brief review articles:
1. Mosmann, T.R. and R.L. Coffman, TH1 and TH2 cells: different patterns
of lymphokine secretion lead to different functional properties. Ann. Rev.
Immunol., 1989. 7: p. 145-173.
2. Romagnani, S., Induction of TH1 and TH2 responses: a key role for the
'natural' immune response? [see comments]. Immunology Today, 1992. 13(10): p.
379-81.
