ID:P5
Pathogenesis:Adaptive immunity
Other Terms:Humoral immunity; Effector T cells; Natural killer; innate lymphoid cells; T-cell apoptosis
Description:A general activation of the humoral immune response is found in both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, manifested by various alterations in immunoglobulin subclass production.TH cells are intrinsically plastic and adaptable to stimuli from the surrounding environment, a characteristic extremely relevant to IBD pathogenesis.
