Several areas have special attention, such as photo-immunology (effects of UV on skin defense), [[inflammatory]] diseases such as [[allergy|allergic]] contact [[dermatitis]] and [[atopic eczema]], presumably [[autoimmune]] skin diseases such as [[vitiligo]] and [[psoriasis]], and finally the [[immunology]] of [[microbial]] skin diseases such as [[retrovirus]] infections and [[leprosy]]. New therapies in development for the [[Immunosuppressant|immunomodulation]] of common immunological skin diseases include [[Biomolecule|biologicals]] aimed at neutralizing [[Tumor necrosis factor-alpha|TNF-alfa]] and [[chemokine receptor]] inhibitors. == See also == * [[Dermatology]] * [[Immune response]] {{Unreferenced|date=May 2007}} [[Category:Immunology]] {{immunology-stub}}
