Recent evidence suggests that cells other than Th-17 lymphocytes express interleukin (IL)-17A and IL-17F and contribute to the production of these cytokines in immunologically mediated diseases. B lymphocytes are known to be an important source of cytokines in chronic inflammatory diseases. We therefore investigated the potential of human B lymphocytes to produce IL-17A and IL-17F.
