摘要
Background: Alefacept (anti-CD2) biological therapy selectively targets effector memory T cells (Tem) in psoriasis vulgaris, a model Type 1 autoimmune disease. Methods: Circulating leukocytes were phenotyped in patients receiving alefacept for moderate to severe psoriasis. Results: In all patients, this treatment caused a preferential decrease in effector memory T cells (CCR7(-) CD45RA(-)) ( mean 63% reduction) for both CD4(+) and CD8(+) Tem, while central memory T cells (Tcm) ( CCR7(+) CD45RA(-)) were less affected, and nave T cells (CCR7(+) CD45RA(+)) were relatively spared. Circulating CD8(+) effector T cells and Type 1 T cells ( IFN-gamma- producing) were also significantly reduced. Conclusion: Alefacept causes a selective reduction in circulating effector memory T cells (Tem) and relative preservation of central memory T cells ( Tcm) in psoriasis.
