Differential expression of IL-17 in BAL IFNγ+ IL-17- CD8+ T and CXCR3+ CCR6+ Th17/Th1 cells was noted in BAL fluid of patients with ICI-Pneumonitis compared to patients with pneumonia; however, larger studies are needed to confirm these findings (Kim et al., 2021). Here, CD8A is linked to pneumonitis.
