Interleukin 17 (also known as CTLA-8) is a T cell-expressed pleiotropic cytokine that exhibits a high degree of homology to a protein encoded by the ORF13 gene of herpesvirus Saimiri. cDNA clones encoding IL-17 have been isolated from activated rat, mouse and human T cells. Human IL-17 cDNA encodes a 155 amino acid (aa) residue precursor protein with a 19 amino acid residue signal peptide that is cleaved to yield the 136 aa residue mature IL-17 containing one potential N-linked glycosylation site. Both recombinant and natural IL-17 have been shown to exist as disulfide linked homodimers. At the amino acid level, human IL-17 shows 72% and 63% sequence identity with herpesvirus and rat IL-17, respectively. An IL-17 specific mouse cell surface receptor (IL-17 R) has recently been cloned. While the expression of IL-17 mRNA is restricted to activated T cells, the expression of mIL-17 R mRNA has been detected in virtually all cells and tissues tested. IL-17 exhibits multiple biological activities on a variety of cells including the induction of IL-6 and IL-8 production in fibroblasts, the enhancement of surface expression of ICAM-1 in fibroblasts, activation of NF-kappa B and costimulation of T cell proliferation.

Scientific Data Images for Human IL‑17/IL‑17A Antibody
IL‑17/IL‑17A in Human Tonsil.
IL-17/IL-17A was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human tonsil using Goat Anti-Human IL-17/IL-17A Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-317-NA) at 1 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Goat IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (VC004). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to lymphocytes.

Detection of IL‑17/IL‑17A in Human Crohn's Intestine
IL-17A mRNA (red) and IL17A protein (green) were detected in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections of human Crohn’s Disease Intestine. ACD’s Integrated Co-Detection Workflow was performed using ACD RNAScope Probe Hs-IL-17A (Catalog # 310931) and goat anti-human IL-17/IL-17A polyclonal antibody (R&D Systems Catalog # AF-317-NA) at 1ug/mL. Tissue was stained using RNAscope® 2.5 HD Detection Kit-RED (Catalog # 322360) and RNAscope® 2.5 LS Green Accessory Pack (Catalog # 322550). Tissue was counterstained with 50% hematoxylin (blue).Detection of IL‑17 in Human PBMCs by Flow Cytometry.
Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were unstimulated (light orange filled histogram) or treated with 50 ng/mL PMA and 250 ng/mL Ca 2+ionomycin for 16 hours, then stained with Goat Anti-Human IL-17 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-317-NA, dark orange filled histogram) or isotype control antibody (AB-108-C, open histogram), followed by Allophycocyanin-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (F0108). To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed with paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with saponin.
IL‑6 Secretion Induced by IL‑17 and Neutralization by Human IL‑17 Antibody.
Recombinant Human IL-17 (317-ILB) stimulates IL-6 secretion in NIH/3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblasts in a dose-dependent manner (orange line), as measured by the mouse IL-6 Quantikine ELISA Kit (Catalog # M6000B). IL-6 secretion elicited by Recombinant Human IL-17 (15 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Goat Anti-Human IL-17 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-317-NA). The ND50 is typically 0.02‑0.12 µg/mL.
Detection of Human IL-17/IL-17A by Immunohistochemistry
Expression of psoriasis‐related cytokines in paradoxical psoriasiform reactions. Immunohistochemistry analysis performed on paradoxical skin lesions obtained from patients 1 (Pt1) and 2 (Pt2) shows similar values of IL‐17A+ cells, a reduction of dermal IFN‐ gamma + cells and an increase of IL‐22+ or IL‐36 gamma + cells, when compared with psoriatic skin lesions. LS and NLS skin of the same psoriatic patient (n = 3) was analyzed. Graphs show the mean of number of positive cells + SD per three sections. One out of three representative stainings is shown. *p < 0.01, **p < 0.05, versus classical psoriasis. Scale bars, 200 μm.

Inflammatory cell infiltrates of early acne lesions in immunohistochemistry.Representative immunohistochemical staining showing IL-17A+ cells in early acne lesion (a). Staining of IL-17A+ and CD3+ cells shows that IL-17A (in green) and CD3 (in red) were detected in acne vulgaris lesions. Cell nuclei were counterstained in blue. Arrows indicate IL-17A and CD3 double positive cells (b). T-bet+ cells (c) were more numerous than IL-17A+ cells or Foxp3+ cells (d) in the lesional acne skin. Large number of CD4+ cells (e), mostly lymphocytes, was seen around pilosebaceous unit and perivascularly. CD8+ cells (f) were fewer in number than CD4+ cells. Large number of CD68+ macrophages (g) and a few CD83+ cells (h), which are mature dendritic cells, were detected around sebaceous follicles. (Bar = 200 µm; in the insets bar = 50 µm).

IL-17A primary Ab is the AF-317-NA from Novus Biologicals. Secondary Ab is A568. FFPE sections were dewaxed with xylene and rehydrated with ethanol solutions (decreasing %). Antigen retrieval was performed with sodium citrate pH6 in a pressure cooker. IL-17A signal is specific, and the staining pattern is what you would expect for a molecule that is produced in the cytoplasm and secreted.
