文摘Dear Editor,External cytokines produced by cells of the innate immune system induce the dif-ferentiation of CD4+T cells into helper T cell subsets with distinct functions and cytokine profiles.Apart from TH1 and TH2 cells a third subset of helper T cells has been described,which is characterized by increased expression of IL-17A,IL-17F,IL-21 and IL-22(TH17 cells).
