With the isolation of the lymphocyte-derived molecule responsible for T cell Growth Factor (TCGF) activity, which came to be known as interleukin 2 (IL-2) [ 9 10 ] , and discovery of IL-2 receptors (IL-2R) [ 11 ] , it could be shown that mitogenic lectins and specific antigens triggered an initial activation event, which was analogous to the activation of cell cycle "competence" by serum-stimulated fibroblasts, and resulted in transition from the G 0 to the G 1 phase of the cell cycle [ 12 13 ] . However, just as in serum-stimulated fibroblasts, this initial activation event did not result in lymphocyte proliferation.
T helper 1 (Th1) cells have been shown to secrete interleukin 2 and interferon gamma (IFN-γ), and express a distinct repertoire of chemokine receptors such as CCR5 and CXCR3 [19,20,21].
