Interleukin 17: an example for gene therapy as a tool to study cytokine mediated regulation of hematopoiesis

Paul Schwarzenberger et al. J Cell Biochem Suppl. 2002.

Abstract

Interleukin 17 (IL-17) is an essential proinflammatory T-cell derived cytokine with various biological actions. IL-17 was found to have a pivotal role in microbial host defense by interconnecting lymphoid and myeloid host defense. It also acts as a stimulatory hematopoietic cytokine by expanding myeloid progenitors and initiating proliferation of mature neutrophils. This article summarizes results to date on IL-17 research and discusses gene therapy based strategies that were employed to determine its biological functions and significance. A comprehensive working model for IL-17 is introduced.
