Abstract
Multiple transcription factors are activated in the IL-17 signaling pathway that mediates anti-fungal immunity, although many of them are redundant for protective immunity despite being essential in driving IL-17-mediated autoimmunity. In this issue, Gaffen and colleagues unveil the IκBζ protein as an indispensable transcription factor in IL-17-activated anti-fungal defense.
