Human Th17 subsets

Dendritic Cell Subsets to Initiate Th17 Differential Capability of Human Cutaneous

Plasticity of human Th17 cells and iTregs is orchestrated by different subsets of myeloid cells.

CD4+ T helper cell differentiation is essential for mounting robust immune responses without compromising unresponsiveness toward self-tissue. Here, we show that different subsets of myeloid cells isolated from human peripheral blood modulate TGF-β-dependent CD4+ T-cell developmental programs ex vivo. Human CD14+HLA-DR(-/low) myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) induce Foxp3+ regulatory T c...

Human CD90 identifies Th17/Tc17 T cell subsets that are depleted in HIV-infected patients.

By revisiting CD90, a GPI-anchored glycoprotein, we show that CD90 is expressed by a subset of CD4(+) and CD8(+) human T cells. CD4(+)CD90(+) cells share similarities with Th17 cells because they express the Th17-specific transcription factor RORC2 and produce IL-17A. CD4(+)CD90(+) cells are activated memory T cells that express the gut mucosal markers CCR6, CD161, and the α(4) and β(7) integri...

Human Th17 cells

The discovery in mice of a new lineage of CD4+ effector T helper (Th) cells that selectively produce IL-17 has provided exciting new insights into immune regulation, host defence, and the pathogenesis of autoimmune and other chronic inflammatory disorders. This population of CD4+ Th cells, which has been termed 'Th17', indeed plays an apparently critical role in the pathogenesis of some murine ...
