French term

versant plutôt Th1/Th2

French to English Medical Medical (general) traitement de bronchopneumopathie
Sur un modèle de rat présentant une hyperplasie des cellules à mucus induite par une inhalation unique de lipopolysaccharide (**versant plutôt Th1**) ou d’ovalbumine (**versant plutôt Th2**), le traitement oral quotidien par roflumilast permettait de réduire significativement cette hyperplasie des cellules à mucus, et donc, possiblement présenterait un intérêt dans le traitement des bronchopneumopathie chronique obstructive et des asthmes.

I'm not sure what part of speech "versant" is here - is it a noun (meaning slope or incline) or a form of the verb meaning to pour? Do Th1 and Th2 refer to types of T helper cells?

Does anyone have any idea how to translate this phrase? Thanks, and Happy New Year to all!

(rather) leaning towards Th1/Th2

I understand this as "leaning towards th1 or Th2 type T helper cells", or in other words with primary activation/hyperplasia of Th1 or Th2 cells, respectively.

For a discussion of the Th1/Th2 Model for helper T cells, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Th1

The exposure to high-level LPS with antigens resulted in increased antigen-specific Th1 responses, whereas a low dose of LPS resulted in Th2 sensitization. http://www.pnas.org/cgi/content/full/103/7/2286

The reference above suggests that both the antigen used (LPS vs ovalbumin) and its amount can lead to a respones that is primarily a Th1 or a Th2 response.
Peer comment(s):

agree Michael Barnett : Yes, leaning toward, or tilting to a primarily Th1 response.
