Abstract
IL-12 has been shown to be important in the generation of a functional Th1 response in animal models of both infectious and autoimmune disease. Furthermore, the role of IL-12 in the maintenance of the immune responses in these diseases is now emerging. Herein, we discuss the idea that memory responses for certain infections may be IL-12 independent, whereas memory responses for specific autoimmune diseases still require IL-12 to maintain a pathogenic response.Entities:
