NEW PREPRINT
Our latest paper, from Danielle Minns, together with Emily Gwyer Findlay’s research team, is now out as a pre-print in BioRxiv, freely available.
This research suggests that the release of cathelicidin by neutrophils is required for maximal Th17 differentiation and IL-17 production by CD4+ T cells, and that this is one method by which early neutrophilia directs subsequent adaptive immune responses.
The neutrophil antimicrobial peptide cathelicidin promotes Th17 differentiation
