The conversion of cells of the TH17 subset of helper T cells that previously expressed interleukin 17A (IL-17A) and the transcription factor RORγt into follicular helper T cells is needed to generate antigen-specific immunoglobulin A in gut mucosa, which suggests new connections in the cognate control of regional adaptive immunity.
