Cytokines in atopic diseases: revisiting the Th2 dogma


European Journal of Dermatology. Volume 16, Number 2, 103-13, March-April 2006, Review article

Author(s) : Emilie Mamessier, Antoine Magnan

Summary : In the field of allergic diseases, extensive research has demonstrated the implication of a strong T H2 activation that both initiates and maintains in situ inflammation with the help of T H2 cytokines. However, as anti-T H2 cytokines therapy is not sufficient to suppress the disease, a more complex immunological mechanism is suspected. In this review, we will revisit the T H2 dogma in allergic diseases, propose a possible implication of T H1 inflammation correlated with the severity of atopic disease, to conclude with the therapeutic solutions envisaged.
