Involvement of Th17 Pathway in Adverse Drug Reactions: Mechanistic Investigation of Drug-induced Autoimmunity and Drug-induced Liver Injury

Clinical characteristics of idiosyncratic drug reactions (IDRs) suggest that they are immune mediated. Penicillamine-induced autoimmunity in Brown Norway rats was used as a tool for mechanistic studies of this type of IDR. It has been shown that T helper 17 (Th17) cells play a central role in many t...
