Abstract:ProblemPreeclampsia (PE), new‐onset hypertension during pregnancy accompanied by organ dysfunction, is associated with chronic inflammation including elevated IL‐17, CD4+ T cells, B cells and natural killer (NK) cells. IL‐17 can serve as a signal for either the adaptive or innate immune activation. We have previously shown that IL‐17 contributes to increased blood pressure in association with elevated TH17 cells, NK cells and B cells secreting angiotensin II type 1 receptor agonistic autoantibodies (AT1‐AA) du… Show more
