Analysis and Correlation of Cathelicidin Expression in Skin and Saliva of Subjects with Atopic Dermatitis and Psoriasis (CATH 02)

Cathelicidins are small proteins in the human body that protect against infection. The purpose of this study is to determine if the amount of cathelicidins and other small proteins found in saliva can predict the amount of these in the skin of people who have acute atopic dermatitis (AD) or psoriasis.
