Psoriasis vulgaris lesions contain discrete populations of Th1 and Th17 T cells.

TL;DR: Th17 cells may be proximal regulators of psoriatic skin inflammation, and warrant further attention as therapeutic targets, and suggest that psoriasis is a mixed Th1 and Th17 inflammatory environment.

Psoriasis Vulgaris Lesions Contain Discrete Populations of Th1 and Th17 T Cells. Discussion. Commentary

TL;DR: In this paper, the importance of T helper 17 (Th17) cells in inflammation and autoimmunity is recognized, and they localized Th17 cells predominantly to the dermis of psoriasis skin lesions, confirmed that IL-17 mRNA increased with disease activity, and demonstrated that IL 17 mRNA expression normalized with cyclosporine therapy.
