Abstract
T follicular helper (Tfh) cells are a subset of effector CD4+ T cells specialised to induce Ab production by B cells. This review highlights some of the recent advances in the field of human Tfh cells that have come from the study of primary immunodeficiencies. In particular it is increasingly evident that the quality of the Tfh cells that are generated, is just as important as the quantity.
