28. + cells. In addition, they showed that IL-23 alone could stimulate IL-17 production from these cells.
29. + γδ T cells were the source of IL-17, and that neutralization of IL-17 resulted in reduced numbers of neutrophils and impaired bacterial clearance.

IL-17-mediated regulation of innate and acquired immune response against pulmonary Mycobacterium bovis Bacille Calmette-Guerin infection. J Immunol 178 (2007) 3786-3796. This study identified γδ T cells as the primary source of IL-17 in M. bovis-infected lungs, and IL-17 expression was shown to be dependent on IL-23. The data also suggested that induction of optimal Th1 responses and protective immunity against mycobacterial infections is dependent on IL-17.

This study showed that γδ T cells are the source of IL-17A that is induced after cecal ligation and puncture. Protective effects were observed when IL-17A was blocked.
