IL-17 producing CD4+CD45RO+ T-cells in atherosclerosis express GITR molecule

We provide data on the expression of GITR molecule on IL-17 producing memory T-cells in patients with CAD. A population of memory T-cells, which expressed PD-1 and were not producing IFN-γ, also increased in patients' blood. These data suggest the modified phenotype/function of T-cell subsets in the atherosclerotic inflammation.
