The process whereby a relatively unspecialized thymocyte acquires specialized features of a T-helper cell. An immune response which is associated with resistance to extracellular organisms such as helminths and pathological conditions such as allergy, which is typically orchestrated by the production of particular cytokines by T-helper 2 cells, most notably IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, and IL-13, resulting in enhanced production of certain antibody isotypes and other effects. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate, or extent of a T-helper 2 type immune response. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized T cell acquires specialized features of a Th2 cell. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of CD4-positive, alpha beta T cell differentiation. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of T-helper 2 cell differentiation. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of T-helper cell differentiation. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of T-helper cell differentiation. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of T-helper 2 cell differentiation.
