Abstract

The T cell cytokine IL-17 was found to be highly produced by RA, but not by OA, synovium. Its production and function were down-regulated by IL-4 and IL-13. These results indicate that IL-17 contributes to the active, proinflammatory pattern that is characteristic of RA. Through the contribution of IL-17, some Th1-like T cells appear to mediate synovial inflammation.
