Abstract

Intraepidermal collections of neutrophils and lymphocytes are unique features of the inflammatory reaction of psoriasis. Migration of leukocytes from dermis to the epidermis suggests a role for chemotactic agent(s). In recent years, increased levels of chemokines such as IL-8 , GRO-a and MCP-1 have been reported in the keratinocytes of psoriatic tissue. IL-8 and GRO-alpha belong to a subfamily (C x C) class and MCP-1 is a beta chemokine. In this study, we investigated RANTES, which is a beta chemokine (C-C class)
