Abstract

It has been widely recognized that topical treatment of mice with imiquimod (IMQ) cream results in generation of skin inflammation, which resembles human psoriasis. We previously reported that topical treatment with TLR7 agonists including IMQ and resiquimod also induced lupus-like systemic autoimmunity in wild-type mice. Thus, although IMQ treatment induces two distinct diseases, it remains unknown whether the underlying pathomechanism is common between them. In this study, we explored detailed kinetics of development of both diseases.
