Abstract

The clinical association of streptococcal infections and psoriasis is well established. The recent finding that the T cells in psoriasis skin respond to streptococcal peptidoglycan now suggests a pathway for an adaptive immune response to the streptococcal organism. These observations may allow for possible vaccines to be developed for psoriasis.
