Psoriasis—a Possible Candidate for Vaccination
نویسندگان
چکیده
The clinical association of streptococcal infections and psoriasis is well established. The recent finding that the T cells in psoriasis skin respond to streptococcal peptidoglycan now suggests a pathway for an adaptive immune response to the streptococcal organism. These observations may allow for possible vaccines to be developed for psoriasis.

متن کاملImmunogenetic Approach to Psoriasis
Human leukocyte antigen system A (HLA) genes, especially HLA-C*06:02, have been proposed as major candidate genes for psoriasis, which is a T-cell driven immune disease that shows altered keratinocyte differentiation. Herein I would like to summarize an immunogenetic approach to psoriasis, which is a description of research that was mainly carried out by my colleagues during my service as Profe...
