- Abstract
This article focuses on a new mediator in dermatology. It has been known for a long time that immunologist processes are of great importance in the development of many benign and malignant dermatologic disorders. As the knowledge of the basal biologic processes in immunology is increased, light is cast into darkened areas of the molecular mechanisms of dermatologic disorders. One area in immunology that, for the moment, is developing rapidly is that of lymphokines and cytokines. Lymphokines are peptides produced by lymphocytes that are able to modify and inflammatory processes.
