T cells which produce interleukin (IL)-17 are involved in chronic inflammatory processes and regulatory T (Treg) cells are possibly the most important immune regulators. We aimed to investigate peripheral blood IL-17(+) T and Foxp3(+) Treg cells in women with idiopathic recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL).
