Origin, function and role in the development of skin diseases CLA+T-lymphocytes

Abstract

The idea of CLA+T-lymphocytes, which are a special subpopulation of cells with a tropic to the skin, is given. The issues of maturation, migration and functional features of CLA+T-cells are considered. Special attention is paid to the different phenotype of memory T-cells. Modern data concerning the role of CLA+T-cells in the pathogenesis of autoimmune and allergic dermatoses, as well as malignant skin tumors are also presented. The conclusion about the necessity of further study of CLA +T-lymphocytes for detailed understanding of pathogenesis and search of variants of targeted therapy in psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, skin lymphomas and other skin diseases is made.
