Abstract
The CD4+ T cell immune response plays a pivotal role in the immunopathogenesis of human and experimental lupus nephritis, but the contribution of the Th17/interleukin-17 (IL-17) immune pathway to renal tissue injury in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) remains to be elucidated. The aim of this study was to characterize the function of the Th17/IL-17A immune response in 2 murine models of lupus nephritis.
