Vimentin is a protein of intermediate filament family, which is expressed in all mesenchymal cells. Vimentin plays a key role in the physiology of the cell, cellular interactions and the functioning of the immune system.

Originally, neutrophil granulocytes were described to phagocytose and kill bacteria. In 2004, a second mechanism in which neutrophils trap bacteria with extracellular DNA (NETs) was described by Brinkmann et al.

The pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin(IL)-17 and IL-17-producing cells are important players in the pathogenesis of many autoimmune/inflammatory diseases.
