Summary

Evidence is presented that murine IL-23, which is produced by activated dendritic cells, acts on memory T cells, resulting in elevated IL-17 secretion, which suggests that during a secondary immune response, IL- 23 can promote an activation state with features distinct from the well characterized Th1 and Th2 profiles.
