Abstract:
IL-17-expressing CD4(+) T cells have been recently recognized as a new subset of Th cells, namely Th17 cells. Considerable progress has been made in understanding the developmental regulation of mouse Th17 cells. Here, I summarize this knowledge and discuss on the relationship of Th17 with regulatory and follicular Th cells.

T Cell Types and Functions
When T cells with CD4 markers are activated, they give rise to two types of effector cells: helper T cells and regulatory T cells. Meanwhile, T cells with CD8 markers differentiate into effector cytotoxic T cells. The differentiation of CD4 T cells into helper T cell subsets, such as Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells, is dependent on the antigen type, antigen-presenting cell, and regulatory cytokines.

Mouse Models of Cancer Study
Mice have long served as models for studying human biology and pathology because of their phylogenetic and physiological similarity with humans. They are also easy to maintain and breed in the laboratory, and hence, many inbred strains are now available for research. Studies on mice have contributed immeasurably to our understanding of cancer biology.
