    Plasticity of TH17 cells. Human TH17 cells, which express retinoic acid receptor–related orphan receptor C (RORC), T-box transcription factor (T-bet), IL-12Rβ2, IL-4Rα, CD161, and CCR6 in the presence of IL-12 produced by dendritic cells, exhibit upregulation of T-bet expression, acquire CXCR3 on their surface, and shift to the production of IFN-γ (TH17/TH1 and TH1 cells), as has recently been shown even in mice. In the presence of IL-4, which can be produced by TH2 cells, basophils, and mast cells, human TH17 cells upregulate GATA-3 and shift to the production of IL-4 (TH17/TH2 cells).
