Preface

The IL-17 cytokines represent a novel family of cytokines, which extends the Th1-Th2 paradigm and defines a new effector T cell, the Th17 cell. Th17 cells may co-express at least IL-17A and IL-17F and IL-22. IL-17A and IL-17F can be produced by CD4þ T cells (Th17 cells), CD8þ T cells (Tc17), gd T cells, iNKT, NK cells, lymphoid tissue inducers cells, innate lymphoid cells, mast cells, neutrophils and Paneth cells.
