the sequences of these cytokines are highly conserved. For instance, the sequence homology between the corresponding human and mouse proteins is usually between 62 and 88%.

The most notable role of IL-17 is its involvement in inducing and mediating proinflammatory responses. IL-17 is commonly associated with allergic responses. IL-17 induces the production
