Different antigens and alleles from both HLA classes I and II were seen in a significantly higher frequency in patients with psoriasis vulgaris. HLA Cw*0602 and DRB1*0701 were represented in different reports, and the former was related mainly to psoriasis type I.

Cyclosporine was effective and safe for psoriasis in low doses, with significant decrease of PASI and dermal dendrocytes number after 8 weeks of therapy. CK10 and 14 pattern changed and, less prominently, CK16 expression. These modifications occur later than the PASI and dermal dendrocytes variation.
