They secrete a distinctive set of immunoregulatory cytokines, including IL-17A, iL-17F, lL-22, and lL-21. T helper cells have been extensively studied in SLE. Th 17 cells were assessed in SLE by assessing the expression of the lineage specific transcription factor, retinoic acid related orphan receptor gamma t (RORyt) determined by real time PCR UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
