Abstract
⺠We examined Th-type cytokine mRNA expression in foals during the first 3 weeks of life. ⺠IFN-γ (Th1) mRNA expression in response to Rhodococcus equi did not change with age. ⺠IL-4 (Th2) mRNA expression in response to R. equi was significantly lower at birth. ⺠IL-17 (Th17) mRNA expression in response to R. equi increased with age. ⺠R. equi strongly induced IL-17 mRNA expression by bronchial cells and PBMCs.
