Th17/IL-17 and associated central nervous system diseases: Research advances / 国际药学研究杂志

ABSTRACT

The CD4+ T cells have an important effect on the regulation of the adaptive immune response. Unlike Th1 cells and Th2 cells, this newly-found Th17 cell plays an important role in autoimmune diseases, inflammation response, transplant rejection and central nervous system disease by the cytokine IL-17. This paper gives a brief review on the relationship among the Th17 cell, the cytokine IL-17 and the disease of central nervous system.
