ABSTRACT This research is based on a Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment, also referred to as in vitro selection against the extracellular domain of human interleukin-17 receptor A (IL-17RA). Pull-down assay via quantitative polymerase chain reaction and chemiluminescence detection showed that the cloned RNA with ...

Interleukin-17: A Social Cytokine [PDF]
Some children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) show behavioral improvements when experiencing inflammation accompanied by fever; however, little is known about the mechanisms that underlie these beneficial effects. In a recent issue of Nature, Reed and colleagues demonstrate that the production of interleukin-17 (IL-17) during inflammation promotes ...

Interleukin-17 in Antifungal Immunity [PDF]
The field of IL-17 biology has received much attention over the last decade owing to the pathogenic role of this cytokine in psoriasis and other autoinflammatory disorders and the successful implementation of IL-17-targeting therapies in patients suffering from these diseases.

Interleukin‐17 and ischaemic stroke [PDF]
SummaryInterleukin‐17 (IL‐17) is a cytokine family that includes 6 members, IL‐17A through IL‐17F, most of them are reported to have pro‐inflammatory role. Through binding to their receptors (IL‐17Rs), IL‐17 activates the intracellular signalling pathways to play an important role in autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and multiple

Coxiella burnetii Blocks Intracellular Interleukin-17 Signaling in Macrophages [PDF]
Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular bacterium and the etiological agent of Q fever. Successful host cell infection requires the Coxiella type IVB secretion system (T4BSS), which translocates bacterial effector proteins across the vacuole ...

Interleukin-17 regulates matrix metalloproteinase activity in human pulmonary tuberculosis. [PDF]
Tuberculosis (TB) is characterized by extensive pulmonary matrix breakdown. Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is key in host defence in TB but its role in TB-driven tissue damage is unknown.

Yin and yang of interleukin-17 in host immunity to infection [version 1; referees: 2 approved] [PDF]
The interleukin-17 (IL-17) family cytokines, such as IL-17A and IL-17F, play important protective roles in host immune response to a variety of infections such as bacterial, fungal, parasitic, and viral.

B Cells Regulate Neutrophilia during Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection and BCG Vaccination by Modulating the Interleukin-17 Response [PDF]
We have previously demonstrated that B cells can shape the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, including the level of neutrophil infiltration and granulomatous inflammation at the site of infection. The present study examined the mechanisms by

Interleukin 17 in vascular inflammation [PDF]
Interleukin (IL)-17 (also known as IL-17A) is produced by activated T cells. It is a marker cytokine of the T(H₁₇) lineage. IL-17 production is induced in infections, autoimmune diseases and other inflammatory events. IL-17 is involved in host defense, but also inflammatory tissue destruction.
