Expression of CD40L and IL-17 of intestinal Th1/17 cell lines from CD patients in response to autologous monocytes in the presence of bacterial antigens (heat-inactivated AIEC). A particular subset of Th1/17 cells, called Th1/17* cells, specifically recognize AIEC, coproducing high levels of pathogenic cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-17, GM-CSF).
