CD4+ T helper (Th) cells are fundamental players in immunity. Based on the expression of signature cytokines and transcription factors, several Th subsets have been defined. Th cells are thought to be far more heterogeneous and multifunctional than originally believed, but characterization of the full diversity has been hindered by technical limitations. Here, we employ mass cytometry to analyze the diversity of Th cell responses generated in vitro and in animal disease models, revealing a vast heterogeneity of effector states with distinct cytokine footprints. The diversities of cytokine responses established during primary antigen encounters in Th1- and Th2-cell-polarizing conditions are largely maintained after secondary challenge, regardless of the new inflammatory environment, highlighting many of the identified states as stable Th cell sublineages. We also find that Th17 cells tend to upregulate Th2-cell-associated cytokines upon challenge, indicating a closer developmental connection between Th17 and Th2 cells than previously anticipated.
