Abstract
Since the first sequence of Interleukin (IL)-17 was published in 1993 [1], very little data have accumulated concerning its potential role in diseases. In vitro and in vivo studies suggest a proinflammatory function for this Interleukin but no data firmly establishes the status of IL-17 as the molecule to target in order to control the inflammatory response. The scope of this chapter is therefore a panoramic view of the pathologies where IL-17 appears to be involved.
