Helper T cells are traditionally classified into T helper 1 (T1) and T helper 2 (T2). The more recent discoveries of T helper 17 (T17), follicular helper T cells (T) and regulatory T cells (T) enhanced our understanding on the mechanisms of immune function and hypersensitivity reactions, which shaped the modern perspective on the function and role of these different subsets of helper T cells in hypersensitivity reactions. Each subset of helper T cells has characteristic roles in different types of hypersensitivity reactions, hence giving rise to the respective characteristic clinical manifestations.
