Association of IL17A and IL17F genes with rheumatoid arthritis disease and the impact of genetic polymorphisms on response to treatment.

abstract：:Interleukin (IL)-17A is a cytokine that plays an important role in infectious, autoimmune, and inflammatory diseases. In this study, we found that TCRγδ(+)CD4(-)CD8(-) T cells, but not TCRαβ(+)CD4(+) T cells, are the primary producers of IL-17A in the genital tract of female mice in the steady-state condition. High mR...
