Cell-mediated immunity (CMI) in psoriasis.

W Gliński, M Haftek, S Obałek

    Archivum Immunologiae Et Therapiae Experimentalis
    |January 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Psoriasis patients show reduced immune responses, including delayed hypersensitivity and lymphocyte function. These cellular immune defects are linked to disease activity and may be caused by inhibitory factors in serum, not a primary immune defect.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Dermatology
    • Cellular Immunology

    Background:

    • Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition.
    • Cellular immune responses (CMI) are implicated in psoriasis pathogenesis.
    • Previous studies suggest immune dysregulation in psoriasis patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate cellular immune function in patients with psoriasis.
    • To assess delayed hypersensitivity and lymphocyte responses.
    • To identify potential factors contributing to immune abnormalities in psoriasis.

    Main Methods:

    • Experimental 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) sensitization.
    • Assessing lymphocyte responses to nonspecific mitogens (PHA, Con A, PWM).
    • Evaluating E rosette formation (T-cell marker) and serum inhibitory factors.

    Main Results:

    • Psoriasis patients exhibited reduced DNCB sensitization and impaired lymphocyte responses.
    • E rosette formation defects were observed, particularly in active psoriasis, correlating with disease activity.
    • These immune defects were transient, resolving during remission, and potentially linked to serum inhibitory factors.

    Conclusions:

    • Psoriasis is associated with functional immune abnormalities, not a primary CMI defect.
    • Serum factors may inhibit T-lymphocyte function in psoriasis patients.
    • Immune defects appear secondary to disease activity and reversible during remission.
