The IL-17 response plays a major role in the defense against S. aureus but also in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. As we are interested in the specific mechanism of IL-17 induction and its downstream pathways we will (i) investigate how T cells expressing IL-17 are induced by S. aureus infections; (ii) analyze the keratinocyte gene expression response to IL-17 in different models of psoriasis as well as in S. aureus infection; (iii) investigate the role of the MALT1-NFκB pathway and the NIK...The IL-17 response plays a major role in the defense against S. aureus but also in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.
