Simultaneous measurement of multiple Th1 and Th2 serum cytokines in psoriasis and correlation with disease severity

Abstract

This new ELISA system allowed rapid and reliable detection of numerous cytokines in single serum samples from patients with psoriasis. We observed that IFN-gamma and IL-8 cytokines were elevated in psoriatics and correlated with parameters of disease severity while IL-10 and IL-12 were decreased.
