The presence of IL-17A and T helper 17 cells in experimental mouse brain tumors and human glioma.
Recently, CD4(+)IL-17A(+) T helper 17 (Th17) cells were identified and reported in several diseased states, including autoimmunity, infection and various peripheral nervous system tumors. However, the presence of Th17 in glia-derived tumors of the central nervous system has not been studied.In this...
