Abstract

The pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases is assumed to depend on activated T cells interacting with resident tissue cells or migratory inflammatory cells. The discovery of new T-cell subsets such as the IL-17-producing T(H)17 and T-regulatory cells innovated our understanding of T-cell biology. Studies on new subsets confirm the important role of T cells in the instruction of tissue cells and also demonstrate the important role of feedback regulation for the polarization toward distinct T-cell subsets. The understanding of IL-17 and T(H)17 differentiation pathways has also changed the perspective of immunologists regarding the basis of chronic tissue inflammation, particularly where T(H)1 cells were considered as driving force of the pathology. This review summarizes the recent developments on T(H) cell subsets and integrates these findings into existing concepts of immunopathologic mechanisms.
