    Abstract
    Transcriptional factor B lymphocyte-induced maturation protein 1 is pivotally implicated in T helper 17 cell differentiation. This study investigated expression of the Blimp-1 protein, positive regulatory domain 1 , and cytokine genes in psoriasis. Affected and non-affected skin samples were used to assess gene and protein expressions by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR , and immunostaining and confocal microscopy, respectively; the normalised public transcriptomic data permitted differential gene expression analyses. On RT-qPCR, PRDM1 and IL17A transcripts showed higher...
