Suppressor function of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in patients with psoriasis vulgaris.
The suppressor activity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells was investigated in 25 patients with psoriasis vulgaris. In the psoriatic patients the suppressor activity was found to be significantly lower than in the control group, which suggests that the weak suppressor activity may play a role in the pathogenesis of this disease.
