Background: IL-17/IL-17A
Rat IL-17A/F is an approximately 37 kDa, secreted, disulfide-linked glycosylated heterodimeric protein 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 such as TGF-beta (1).
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 (1, 3-5). Mature rat IL-17A and IL-17F share
60% and 59% amino acid sequence identity with human and 61% and 90% with mouse
IL-17A and IL-17F, respectively. They also share 50% aa sequence identity with
each other (1). IL-17A/F heterodimer and the IL-17A and IL-17F homodimers are
produced by IL-23 activated Th17 cells (1, 6-10, 14). 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).
