Helper lymphocytes T CD4+ are divided into subsets, like Th1 and Th2. During my professional life, I have observed that many researchers associate Th1 subset exclusively to cellular immunity, even those working in vaccinology. This criterion has been quoted in events, scientific papers, and theses to obtain medical or scientific degrees. The same can also be found in several textbooks. We would like to argue and to show that this subset is not limited to cellular immunity and that is vital for humoral response.
