Analysis of Serum Cytokine Profile in Pemphigus.

CONCLUSION: The decreased level of IFN-γ in PV may imply suppressed Th1 response in the active disease stage. A Th2 predominant response is suggested in the active stage of PNP, with elevated serum levels of IL-6 and IL-10. Increased level of proinflammatory cytokine IL-8 is observed in the sera of PV and PNP patients. PMID: 28761292 [PubMed]
