T-lymphocyte dependence of psoriatic pathology in human psoriatic skin grafted to SCID mice.

Abstract excerpt

Considerable indirect evidence suggests that T lymphocytes have a role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. The goal of this study was to directly test the ability of T cells to maintain psoriasis pathology. Psoriatic skin was transplanted onto SCID mice, which were then injected with autologous T cells.
