Abstract
Methods of using inhibitors of the CD2/LFA-3 interaction in treating skin conditions characterized by increased T cell activation and abnormal antigen presentation in the dermis and epidermis in mammals, including humans. Such conditions include psoriasis, UV damage, e.g., photoaging, atopic dermatitis, cutaneous T cell lymphoma such as mycosis fungoides, allergic and irritant contact dermatitis, lichen planus, alopecia areata, pyoderma gangrenosum, vitiligo, ocular cicatricial pemphigoid, and urticaria.
Claims55
A method of treating or providing prophylaxis for a skin condition characterized by increased T cell activation and abnormal antigen presentation in the dermis and epidermis comprising the step of administering to a mammal an inhibitor of the CD2/LFA-3 interaction selected from the group of a CD2 polypeptide, an LFA-3 polypeptide, an anti-CD2 antibody homolog, and an anti-LFA-3 antibody homolog.
A method of treating or providing prophylaxis for psoriasis comprising the step of administering to a mammal an inhibitor of the CD2/LFA3 interaction selected from the group of a CD2 polypeptide, an LFA-3 polypeptide, an anti-CD2 antibody homolog, and an anti-LFA-3 antibody homolog.
A method of treating or providing prophylaxis for psoriasis comprising the step of administering to a mammal a composition comprising LFA3TIP (SEQ ID NO:8).
