Existence of Th17 cells in humans

I removed the following from the article due the lack of sources;

"It must be noted that there is no direct evidence for the existence of this cell type in humans, although it seems that IL-17 can be produced by some T helper cells. It is also important to note that a major proportion of IL-17 found in humans is produced from an unknown source, macrophages/monocytes, neutrophils and other immune cells produce this proinflammatory cytokine as well."

Given that the first part of the statement calls into question the very existence of the article subject, a reference to the opinion of a noted academic is the minimum that should be provided here. I'm not sure what to make of the second part but it should be referenced and preferably be written so as to make it's relevence clear. DoktorDec (talk) 01:20, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not my editing, but I recall 'gitta Stockinger talking about it AAI a few years back. I'll see if I can patch in a review from her, or maybe Jay Kolls on the subject. Jbarin (talk) 21:43, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see the relevance of the paragraph below.

On Tuesday, July 19, 2011, a press release from the Yale University Office of Public Affairs and Communications (<<http://opac.yale.edu/news/article.aspx?id=8741>>) stated that excess cells could be selectively redirected into the small intestine and controlled and eliminated there, providing immunological stability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sardine666 (talk • contribs) 11:01, 16 August 2011 (UTC) Sardine666 (talk) 11:03, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article update

Replaced some older primary sources by a more recent secondary source (2014 review), removed redundancies. Still too much primary literature as references Dr Olive (talk) 17:16, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Adjusted to article 't helper cells' moving some content here. Dr Olive (talk) 11:21, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
