Abstract
Our study shows that resolution of clinical disease in patients with chronic AD is accompanied by reversal of both the epidermal defects and the underlying immune activation. We have defined a set of biomarkers of disease response that associate resolved TH2 and T22 inflammation in patients with chronic AD with reversal of barrier pathology. By showing reversal of the AD epidermal phenotype with a broad immune-targeted therapy, our data argue against a fixed genetic phenotype.
