| Research Abstract |
We demonstrated the relevance of IL-17 to chronic tonsillitis, tonsillar hypertrophy, and focus infection. The expression of IL-17 protein was investigated by FACS and Western blotting using tonsillar lymphocytes and peripheral blood lymphocytes. The localization and expression of IL-17 was differed among several disorders. The B cells inside tonsillar tissues stimulated by pokeweed mitogen resulted in a significant contribution to production of IL-17 antibodies.
