Abstract

TH17 cells produce IL17 and other cytokines that regulate anti-microbial and auto-immune responses. It is well established that TH1 and TH2 effector T cells differ from each other in migratory behavior. FoxP3+ regulatory T cells apparently have the migratory features of both naïve and effector T cells. It is a question of interest if TH17 cells would display a unique trafficking behavior specific for this T cell lineage. TH17 cells are highly enriched in the intestine and other tissues with certain types of inflammatory diseases. TH17 cells are unique in that almost all of these T cells express the chemokine receptor CCR6. Otherwise, TH17 cells are considered conventional, heterogeneously expressing a number of other memory/effector type trafficking receptors, which are required for migration of TH17 cells into various tissues. I will review our current understanding of the trafficking receptors and migration behavior of TH17 cell subsets.
