Abstract excerpt
AIMS: CD8+ T cells can differentiate into subpopulations that are characterized by a specific cytokine profile, such as the Tc17 population that produces interleukin-17. The role of this CD8+ T-cell subset in atherosclerosis remains elusive. In this study, we therefore investigated the contribution of Tc17 cells to the development of atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS: Flow cytometry analysis of atherosclerotic...
