Abstract
Type I interferons (IFN-1s) activate Stat4 and promote Th1 development in human, but not mouse, CD4+ T cells. Recently, IFN-1-induced Stat4 activation in human cells was found to require interactions of Stat4 with Stat2. A remarkable genetic dissimilarity between murine and human Stat2 explains the ability of human, but not mouse, CD4+ T cells to undergo IFN-1-induced Stat4 activation and Th1 development.
