Th17 cells are associated with protection from ventilator associated pneumonia

BACKGROUND: CD4+ T-helper 17 (Th17) cells and Interleukin (IL)-17A play an important role in clearing pathogens in mouse models of pneumonia. We hypothesized that numbers of Th17 cells and levels of IL-17A are associated with risk for nosocomial pneumonia in humans. METHODS: We collected bronchoalve...
