Abstract
T-helper 2 (Th2) cells function in the adaptive immune system to coordinate responses to large extracellular pathogens (Luckheerham, 2012). Th2 cells are one of the differentiated subtypes cells of CD4+ T cells. CD4+ T cells recognize foreign pathogens and differenitated in specialized subtypes to affectively destroy the pathogen (Luckheerham, 2012). Upon CD4+ T cell activation, the cells undergo metabolic reprogaming, resulting in a shift in metabolism (Almedia, 2016).
We have successfully created a Th2 metabolic network model. The Th2 metabolic network model contains 1151 genes, 2601 metabolites, and 4654 reactions.
