Immunopathogenesis of psoriasis.
نویسنده
چکیده
Psoriasis is an immunologically mediated disease caused by activation of T lymphocytes that elaborate a Th1 type of immune response. Targeted manipulation of the various mechanisms involved in T cell activation and blockade or inactivation of the various proinflammatory cytokines released by the process of T cell activation are methods used in treatment of psoriasis by use of 'biologicals'.

متن کاملThe role of CD4 and CD8 lymphocytes and macrophages in psoriasis vulgaris.
Current knowledge of the immunopathogenesis of psoriasis vulgaris is based on the crucial role of CD4 and CD8 lymphocytes. Also, the connection of activated lymphocytes with macrophages, especially dendritic cells and plasmacytoid dendritic cells, is considered to be significant. In the present study, the expression of CD4+ lymphocytes as well as CD8+ lymphocytes (P < 0.001) and macrophages (P ...
