Findings reveal that pre-Th17-cells in AD-HIES support IgE production, suggesting a role in opportunistic infections.
Th17 differentiation in AD-HIES patients was not completely impaired but arrested at an intermediate stage of IL-10-producing "pre-Th17"-cells. Surprisingly, DN-STAT3 mutations did not inhibit IL-10 production by CD4⁺T-cells. Pre-Th17-cells were activated by AD-HIES-associated pathogens and possessed B-helper functions, suggesting that they are not protective but may promote aberrant IgE production.
