Expression of IL-17A in human atherosclerotic lesions is associated with increased inflammation and plaque vulnerability

A chronic (auto)immune response is the critical mechanism in atherosclerosis. Interleukin-17A is a pivotal effector cytokine, which modulates immune cell trafficking and initiates inflammation in (auto)immune and infectious diseases.
