After activation, CD4+ helper T (TH) cells differentiate into distinct effector lineages. Although CXCR5+ follicular TH (TFH) cells are important in humoral immunity, their developmental regulation is unclear. Here we show that TFH cells have a distinct gene expression profile from other effector T cells and develop in vivo independent of the TH1 or TH2 lineages. TFH cell generation is regulated by B7h expressed on B cells and, similar to TH17 cell development, is dependent on IL-21, IL-6 and STAT3. However, differentiation of TFH cells, unlike TH17 cells, does not require TGFβ signaling or TH17-specific orphan nuclear receptors RORα and RORγ in vivo. Finally, naïve T cells activated in vitro in the presence of IL-21 but not TGFβ signaling preferentially acquire TFH gene expression and function to promote germinal center reactions in vivo. This study thus demonstrates TFH as a distinct lineage of effector TH differentiation.
