Furthermore, showing higher levels of intracellular IL-17A and RORγ(t), associated with lower levels of Foxp3 in T-lymphocytes, together with higher plasma levels of IL-17A we suggests that there is a Th17/Treg imbalance toward Th17 cells in moderate forms of allergic asthma and rhinitis. The gene discussed is FOXP3; the disease is rhinitis.
