Reference	MHC Class I	MHC Class II

[31]	HLA-Cs*602, HLA-B27

 

Table 4. Psoriasis is predominantly associated with MHC Class I proteins, supporting

the role of CD8+ T cells in psoriasis. (Recall that the CD8 molecule stabilizes the T cell

receptor/ antigen/ MHC Class I molecule complex allowing antigen-specific activation

of cytotoxic T cells.)
