Part of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis patients treated with biologics and met primary failure. Therefore, we are going to create a cell based platform to evaluate the treatment effects of different biologics on psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis patients before prescribed by physicians
PBMCs isolated from psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis and incubated with Group A streptococcus and different biologics for 24 hours. Cytokines expression in the culture supernatants will be measured and the data can be reference for physician's prescription.
