Serum Th1 and Th2 network relationships. Significant gender common and gender-specific Th1/Th2 network relationships were found in serum which could be used as biomarkers to indicate the direction of T cell differentiation in the immune response. Positive relationship (+); negative relationship (−); resting (RC) and activation (AC) conditions; not significant (ns); Th1: IL2, IFNγ; Th2: IL4, IL6, IL10; APC: TNFα, IL1β.
