Background: IL-17/IL-17A

Human IL-17A/F is an approximately 40 kDa, secreted, disulfide-linked heterodimeric glycoprotein comprised of two members of the IL-17 family of cytokines, IL-17A and IL-17F (1, 2). Members of this family demonstrate a structural motif termed a cysteine knot that also characterizes a large superfamily of growth factors. Although most cysteine knot superfamily members use three intrachain disulfide bonds to create a knot, IL-17 family molecules generate the same structural form with only two disulfide links (3-5). Mature human IL-17A and IL-17F share 61% and 56% amino acid sequence identity with mouse IL-17A and IL-17F, respectively. They share 50% aa sequence identity with each other. IL-17A/F and the IL-17A and IL-17F homodimers are produced by IL-23 activated Th17 cells (1, 6-10). The widely expressed receptors IL-17 RA and IL-17 RC form a heterodimer for the binding of IL-17A and IL-17F, as well as the heterodimeric IL-17A/F (6, 11, 12). IL-17A/F is a biologically active protein that induces chemokine production and airway neutrophilia with intermediate potency between IL-17A (most potent) and IL-17F (least potent) (7, 12). It is up-regulated in immune cells during inflammatory arthritis and contributes to disease severity (13).
