Th17 cells at the crossroads of innate and adaptive immunity against infectious diseases at the mucosa

Abstract

T helper type 17 (Th17) cells are a distinct lineage of T cells that produce the effector molecules IL-17, IL-17F, IL-21, and IL-22. Although the role of Th17 cells in autoimmunity is well documented, there is growing evidence that the Th17 lineage and other interleukin (IL)-17-producing cells are critical for host defense against bacterial, fungal, and viral infections at mucosal surfaces. Here we summarize recent progress in our understanding of the function of IL-17-producing cells as a bridge between innate and adaptive immunity against infectious diseases at the mucosa.

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.
