Synthesis of Th17 cytokines in the culture of peripheral blood mononuclear cells stimulated with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato.

CONCLUSIONS: IL-17A, IL-17F and IL-22 are synthesized simultaneously by PBMC stimulated with B. burgdorferi. There is no antagonism between Th17 response and IL-10 expression. The role of Th17 cytokines seems to differ depending on the clinical stage of Lyme borreliosis and on the B. burgdorferi species. PMID: 27294626 [PubMed - in process]
