T_H2 cells coordinate type 2 responses to expel intestinal helminths and repair tissue injury. The immune response to helminthic worm infections in the gastrointestinal tract requires specialized mechanisms due to the fact that helminths are too large to be ingested and destroyed by phagocytes. For example, cytokines made by T_H2 cells elicit responses from multiple non-hematopoietic cell types that aid in parasite expulsion. Name two of these cell types and for each of them, their response to T_H2-produced cytokines.

Definition Definition Organism that lives in the body of another organism and obtains food at the expense of the host. A parasite can directly or indirect harm the host. There are two kinds of parasites: internal and external. An internal parasite lives inside another organism and is known as an endoparasite. An external parasite lives on the body surface of the host and is known as an ectoparasite. Protozoa and helminths are examples of major human parasites.
