摘要
Studies have shown over-representation of certain T-cell receptor (TCR) V beta chains in lesional psoriatic skin, implying selection or expansion, possibly by bacterial superantigen, We investigated the pattern of TCR V beta chain usage in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) bearing the skin homing receptor cutaneous lymphocyte associated antigen (CLA) in psoriasis patients, Results showed increased expression of TCR V beta 2 in CLA-positive PBL in psoriasis patients (n = 15) compared with normals (n = 10); P < 0.002, As V beta 2 is preferentially expressed by lymphocytes responding to certain bacterial superantigens, this study could possibly indicate a role for superantigens in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.
