Abstract
The development of psoriatic plaques is T cell dependent. Recently, Th17 CD4 T cells have been proposed to be the main effector cells. However, development of psoriasis is critically dependent on accumulation of epidermal T cells, among the majority express CD8. Here we show that numbers of epidermal CD8 T cells correlated with development of psoriasis in human biopsies, and that blockade of CD8 T cells by depleting antibodies inhibited development of psoriasis in the AGR xenotransplantation mouse model. In human dermis, both CD4 and CD8 T cell numbers correlated significantly with epidermal pathology, indicating a role for dermal CD4 T cells in orchestrating the development of psoriasiform changes induced by epidermis-infiltrating CD8 T cells.
