Conclusions: These results indicate that T-bet stimulated the differentiation of Th1 cells and accelerated the disease severity in Yaa mice. These results suggest that Th1/Th2 imbalance contributes to the glomerulonephritis severity in Yaa mice, and Th1/Th2 transcriptional regulation is important for autoimmune glomerulonephritis.
