2005年发现的Th17血统引发了人们对传染病免疫力的看法发生了重大变化。尤其是真菌感染,就宿主免疫反应而言,长期以来一直是一个研究相对较少的领域。白色念珠菌是一种寄生在粘膜部位和皮肤上的共生酵母菌。在健康的人中,它是非致病性的,但在免疫缺陷的情况下,这种微生物可以引起与相当高的发病率相关的各种感染。念珠菌还可以引起传播性感染,具有很高的死亡率,是医院环境中的主要临床问题。尽管对白色念珠菌的免疫长期以来被认为是由Th1细胞介导的,但在啮齿动物模型和人类中的新数据揭示了Th17血统,特别是其标志性细胞因子IL-17的重要作用。
The discovery of the Th17 lineage in 2005 triggered a major change in how immunity to infectious diseases is viewed. Fungal infections, in particular, have long been a relatively understudied area of investigation in terms of the host immune response. Candida albicans is a commensal yeast that colonizes mucosal sites and skin. In healthy individuals it is non-pathogenic, but in conditions of immune deficiency, this organism can cause a variety of infections associated with considerable morbidity. Candida can also cause disseminated infections that have a high mortality rate and are a major clinical problem in hospital settings. Although immunity to Candida albicans was long considered to be mediated by Th1 cells, new data in both rodent models and in humans have revealed an essential role for the Th17 lineage, and in particular its signature cytokine IL-17.
