An overview of IL-17 function and signaling

Open access
Gaffen, Sarah L.·2008·Cytokine

Abstract

Since the discovery of interferons over 50 years ago, efforts to understand the biochemistry, molecular biology and biological activities of cytokines have been intense and rewarding. Although there are several hundred cytokines and receptors currently recognized, they in fact fall into a fairly limited set of subfamilies (reviewed in [1, 2]). Within these families (and in some cases even outside them), cytokines share many structural and functional features that have provided a framework for understanding their biological activities and signal transduction mechanisms. This review will focus on interleukin (IL)-17, the founding member of the newest subclass of cytokines, which has received considerable attention in the last several years due to its central role in the Th17 system.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
