Polymorphonuclear leukocytes: possible mechanism of accumulation in psoriasis

GS Lazarus, FJ Yost Jr, and CA Thomas

Extracts of involved and uninvolved skin from nine patients with untreated psoriasis were studied for chemotactic activity. Psoriatic plaque contains increased amounts of a complement-dependent chemotactic factor that is inhibited by diisopropyl fluorophosphate. This factor may be human skin serine proteinase.
