 AB    With studies elucidating the cytokine programs associated with T-cell
       activation, allograft rejection and tolerance induction, the Th1/Th2
       paradigm has become a unifying model to explain the observed cytokine
       profiles. The proof that these cytokines mediate allograft tolerance,
       however, is at best indirect. More recent studies highlighting the
       redundant and pleiotropic nature of cytokine networks suggest that the
       Th1/Th2 paradigm may not be sufficient to explain fully the mechanisms
       underlying allograft tolerance.
