About this Book
“About 25 years ago, Mosmann & Coffman introduced the TH1 / TH2 paradigm of T helper cell differentiation,
which helped explain many aspects of adaptive immunity from eliminating intracellular versus extracellular pathogens to induction
of different types of tissue inflammation.
However, TH1 / TH2 paradigm could not adequately explain development of certain inflammatory responses
which provided impetus for the discovery of a new subset of T cells called TH17 cells. After the discovery of differentiation
and transcription factors for TH17 cells, it was clear that TH17 cells represent an independent subset of T cells with specific
functions in eliminating certain extracellular pathogens, presumably not adequately handled by TH1 or TH2 cells. The major
role of TH17 cells has been described in inducing autoimmune tissue inflammation.
The discovery of TH17 cells has expanded
the TH1 / TH2 paradigm, and the integration of TH17 cells with TH1 and TH2 effector T cells is beginning to explain the underlying
mechanisms of tissue inflammation in a number of infections and autoimmune disease settings.”

“The recent identified Interleukin
17 (IL-17) cytokine family contributes to immunity to infectious diseases and chronic inflammatory diseases. Further studies
on the regulation and function of this important cytokine family may provide better understanding on the roles of the IL-17
family in immune-mediated diseases; such knowledge may lead to the development of immunotherapeutic strategies for treatment
of several inflammatory diseases.”
