General Information of HIF (ID: HIFC0067)
HIF Name
CD4+ helper T cells
HIF Synonym(s)
CD4+ helper T cell, CD4+ helper T cells
HIF Classification
T cells (TCs)
Description Helper T cells are also called CD4+ T cells, because they have on their surfaces a protein called CD4. Helper T cell s play a central role in normal immune responses by producing factors that activate virtually all the other immune system cells [1]
Microbe Species (MIC) Regulated by This HIF
         Epsilonproteobacteria (epsilon-proteobacteria) MIC00553
             Description CD4+ T helper cells were recognized as a dominant component of immune responses to Helicobacter pylori. [2]
         Mycoplasma hominis (mycoplasmas) MIC00871
             Description Mycoplasma hominis could promote the development of an IL-17-producing CD4+ helper T cell subset. [3]
         Staphylococcus aureus (firmicutes) MIC01208
             Description Staphylococcus aureus was associated with CD4+ T helper cells responses. [4]
         Tannerella forsythia (CFB bacteria) MIC01305
             Description Tannerella forsythia may induce pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1 and IL-6 by CD4 + T helper cells. [5]
