[The functional properties of interleukins in psoriasis]

IL-1 and IL-2 interleukins have been studied in patients with diffuse psoriasis en papules et plaques in the stationary stage. The results evidence increased production of IL-1 and its reduced reception by the immunocompetent cells. The lymphocytes have been characterized by a reduced IL-2 synthesis and its lower binding with IL-2-sensitive cells.
