IL-12 and IL-23 production by DC

C. albicans hyphae selectively induce IL-23

and prime Th17 cells

• Th17 memory cells express CCR6 and CCR4

• C. albicans specific memory cells are Th17

• The Hyphal form of C. albicans triggers IL-23, but not IL-12

• Th17 deficiency and candidiasis in STAT3 deficient patients (Milner et al Nature 2008; Ma et al JEM 2008)

Th17 cells might recruit neutrophils thus promoting

entrapment and killing of hyphae

Challenges in analyzing the

human naïve T cell repertoire

• Low frequency of antigen-specific naïve T cells

• High activation threshold of naïve T cells

• Broad spectrum of avidities

• Limitations of peptide-based and tetramer-based

approaches

• Need to measure T cell responses to complex

naturally processed antigens

Constitutive and inflammatory routes of entry into the CNS:

a two step model of EAE pathogenesis

(1) CCR6-mediated Th17 cell entry

into the CSF via choroid plexus

(2) Th17 dissemination via the CSF

to the subarachnoid space

(3) Antigen recognition and

local activation of the BBB

(4) CCR6-independent T cell entry through

locally activated parenchimal venules of BBB

• How do CCR6+ T cells trigger leukocyte recruitment?

• Which are the chemokine receptors involved in late EAE?

• What is the relative contribution of Th17 and Th1 cells

at different stages of the disease?

• Does CCR6-blockade have any therapeutic effect (relapsing-

remitting SJL model)?

• Do CCR6+ T cells play a role in surveillance of the CNS?
