The T<sub>H</sub>17 cells which form when T<sub>H</sub>0 cells are challenged with IL-6 and TGF-β produce a number of cytokines that enhance the innate immune response. The [[Cytokines|cytokines]] produced enhance the extravasation and chemotaxis of [[Neutrophils|neutrophils]] to the site of infection, in the aim of combating extracellular bacteria. These cytokines include:
