Alternatively, antigen-specific effector/memory TH17 cells, generated in culture with CD4+ T cells from Il17a fate-mapping mice, were adoptively transferred to assess their persistence in genetically modified animals lacking distinct lung APC subsets or cell-specific Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 signaling.
