What is the difference between IL-17 and IL-23?
Both IL-17 and IL-23 are implicated in PsA pathogenesis; however, IL-17-mediated inflammation may be more central in the development of cardiometabolic comorbidities and axial spondyloarthritis, whereas IL-23 may be more important in IBD immunopathogenesis.
What are IL-17 inhibitors?
Abstract. Secukinumab, ixekizumab and brodalumab are monoclonal antibody therapies that inhibit interleukin (IL)-17 activity and are widely used for the treatment of psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.
What cell produces IL-17?
IL-17 is believed to be mainly produced by T helper 17 (Th17) cells, a unique helper T-cell subset different from Th1 and Th2 cells. Other subsets of T cells such as γδT and natural killer T (NKT) cells have also been found to produce IL-17 in response to innate stimuli.

Can Taltz cause Crohn’s disease?
Taltz (ixekizumab), an approved antibody treatment for plaque psoriasis, targets a cytokine that is thought to play a role in the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). That connection has caused concerns that administration of the drug might increase occurrence of IBDs in patients with psoriasis.
How do I block interleukin 17?
Three agents that block IL-17 are investigated at the moment. Secukinumab, brodalumab and ixekizumab have successfully completed phase II clinical trial and are currently at phase III [11]. The results are very promising.
