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 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. The non-glycosylated, E. coli-expressed rhIL-17 has been shown to be active on human as well as mouse cell lines.

IL‑17/IL‑17A in Human Crohn's Disease Intestine.
IL-17/IL-17A was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human Crohn's disease intestine using Goat Anti-Human/Primate IL-17/IL-17A Biotinylated Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # BAF317) at 0.3 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Goat IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC004). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # CTS013). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to lymphocytes.
