Summary
The potential effect of indigo naturalis on the immune system is unknown. The investigators hypothesize that the therapeutic effect of indigo naturalis in psoriasis may involve inhibiting the activation of Th1 and Th17 cells that produce pro-inflammatory cytokines, thereby regulating the hyperplasia of epidermis induced by Th1/Th17 related cytokines.
