The role of IL-12/23 in T cell-related chronic inflammation: implications of immunodeficiency and therapeutic blockade

Anna Schurich et al. Rheumatology (Oxford). .

Abstract

In this review we discuss the divergent role of two closely related cytokines, IL-12 and IL-23, in shaping immune responses. In light of current therapeutic developments using biologic agents to block these two pathways, a better understanding of the immunological function of these cytokines is pivotal.

Keywords: IL-12 related immunodeficiency; IL-12/23 blockade; briakinumab; psoriasis; psoriatic arthritis; ustekinumab.
