Abstract
Although alopecia areata (AA) has been traditionally classified as a strictly T helper type 1–mediated process, the T helper type 2 (Th2) pathway may contribute to an AA-like phenotype in some individuals. Herein, we describe three clinical cases that support the potential role of Th2 activity through the upregulation of IL-4 and IL-13 in an AA-like phenotype.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings (JIDSP) publishes peer-reviewed, invited papers relevant to all aspects of cutaneous biology and skin disease. Papers in the JIDSP are often initially presented at a scientific meeting. Potential topics include biochemistry, biophysics, carcinogenesis, cellular growth and regulation, clinical research, development, epidemiology and other population-based research, extracellular matrix, genetics, immunology, melanocyte biology, microbiology, molecular and cell biology, pathology, pharmacology and percutaneous absorption, photobiology, physiology, and skin structure.
