A patient with chronic psoriatic skin lesions undergoes cytokine profiling, which reveals elevated IL-17 levels in the dermis. This cytokine is known to promote neutrophil recruitment and keratinocyte activation. Which immune cells are most likely responsible for its production in this case? O Cytotoxic CD8+ T cells O Th17 cells O Regulatory T cells O Th2 cells
