Traditionally, CD4(+) T cells have been separated into two different subsets named T helper (Th)1 and Th2. A new IL-23-driven subset of Th cells called Th(IL-17) has now been described. The data suggest that IL-23 plays an important role in the differentiation of autoreactive pathogenic T cells. Whether these IL-23-induced Th(IL-17) cells are a unique subset or are related to other Th subsets is discussed.
传统上,CD4(+) T细胞已被分为两个不同的亚群,称为辅助性T细胞(Th)1和Th2。现在已经描述了一种由白细胞介素-23(IL-23)驱动的新型Th细胞亚群,称为Th(IL-17)。数据表明,IL-23在自身反应性致病性T细胞的分化中起重要作用。本文讨论了这些IL-23诱导的Th(IL-17)细胞是一个独特的亚群还是与其他Th亚群相关。
