  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Abstract

The concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1beta, interleukin-2, interleukin-4, and the content of antibodies to H1 histone fraction in peripheral blood lymphocytes, epidermis, and serum were evaluated in patients with mycosis fungoides. It was found that as the disease progresses, cytokine synthesis is switched from Th1 to Th2 class and production of proinflammatory cytokines increases, which indirectly promotes the development of the autoimmune reaction.
