title: Modulation of inflammation through IL-17 production by gammadelta T cells: mandatory in the mouse, dispensable in humans?
abstract: Recent studies suggest that gammadelta T cells are innate IL-17 producers owing to unique features of their developmental program. A key contribution of this subset to T helper 17 responses has been also suggested by numerous physiopathological studies mainly performed in mouse models. In the present review, we will summarize the main features of IL-17-producing gammadelta T cells and highlight the similarities and differences between murine gammadelta T cells and their human counterparts.
