Targeting the IL-12/IL-23 cytokine family in the treatment of psoriatic disease.

2010-11-28T17:36:12Z

Both Interleukin (IL)-12 and IL-23 have important roles in psoriasis, a complex Th1 and Th17 mediated auto-immune disease. Although they share the subunit p40, they have different immunologic profiles. Targeting the two cytokines, particularly the common subunit, has been recently studied in the treatment of this sometimes severe disease. This article reviews mechanisms of the disease and some stu...
