Psoriasis vulgaris (PV) is an inflammatory skin disease largely driven by aberrant αβT cells. Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, which constitute the largest circulating innate-like αβT cell community in human adults, are characterized by a semi-invariant TCRVα7.2 receptor and MR1-restricted affinity toward microbial metabolites.

Psoriasis vulgaris (PV) is an autoinflammatory dermatosis of unknown etiology. Current evidence suggests a pathogenic role of γδT cells, but the growing complexity of this population has made the offending subset difficult to pinpoint. The work on γδTCR and γδTCR subsets, which express intermediate and high levels of γδTCR at their surface, respectively, is particularly scarce, leaving their inner workings in PV essentially unresolved.
