Production and function of IL-17 in salmonellosis

The role of Th17 cells in intracellular bacteria infection remains unclear, especially at late stages. In this study, Alber and colleagues (p. 1129) show that IL-17A–/– mice survive infection with Salmonella Enteritidis but have a larger bacterial burden. Neutrophil and DTH reactions are reduced. IL-17A is produced by cd T cells and other CD4– cells, as well as CD4+ cells.
