Dear Editor, External cytokines produced by cells of the innate immune system induce the differentiation 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).
