Abstract
Infliximab demonstrates high efficacy in treating psoriasis in a high proportion of patients. In this report we demonstrate
induction of plaque (T cells, dendritic cells) and peripheral blood (T cells, monocytes) leukocyte apoptosis following a single
infliximab infusion in a psoriasis patient.
