This method can help answer key questions in the CD4 T-cell field such as which subset of T-helper cells is the major source of GM-CSF in pathogenesis of the inflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis. The main advantage of this technique is

Here, we present a protocol to differentiate murine granulocyte-macrophage-colony-stimulating-factor-producing T helper (THGM) cells from naive CD4+ T cells, including isolation of naive CD4+ T cells, differentiation of THGM, and analysis of differentiated THGM cells. This method can be applied to studies of the regulation and function of THGM cells.
