Abstract

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic or chronically relapsing, eczematous, severely pruritic skin disorder associated with skin barrier dysfunction. The lesional skin of AD exhibits T helper 2 (T H 2)‐deviated immune reactions. Interleukin‐31 (IL‐31), preferentially produced from T H 2 cells, is a potent pruritogenic cytokine, and its systemic and local administration induces scratching behavior in rodents, dogs and monkeys. Recent clinical trials have revealed that administration of an anti‐IL‐31 receptor antibody significantly alleviates pruritus in patients with AD. In this review, we summarize recent topics related to IL‐31 and its receptor with special references to atopic itch.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • IL-31 is a pruritogenic cytokine produced by TH2 cells infiltrating atopic dermatitis skin, and its levels correlate with disease severity.

    “IL-31 is a prominent pruritogenic cytokine produced by infiltrating TH2 cells in AD and correlates with disease severity97,184,185.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
