Glossary Immune Markers

specific molecules indicating immune cell types and activity

Immune markers, also known as immunological markers, are specific molecules or proteins found on the surface of cells that help identify and differentiate between various types of immune cells. These markers are crucial for diagnosing and monitoring immune-related conditions, such as autoimmune diseases and infections, by providing insights into the immune system's activity and health.

learn Cetirizine

Could cetirizine help control autoimmune triggers in alopecia areata? No published trial has tested cetirizine in alopecia areata; one registered trial has not reported results. Small trials in pattern hair loss report modest benefit, so any use for alopecia areata is off-label and unproven.

learn Tofacitinib

What is tofacitinib, and why is it discussed in relation to autoimmune-related hair loss such as alopecia areata? Tofacitinib is a prescription JAK inhibitor approved for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and ulcerative colitis — not for alopecia areata. It is discussed for hair loss because a 2014 case report and a 2016 open-label trial reported regrowth in severe alopecia areata, but that use is off-label, the regrowth relapsed after stopping, and the drug carries an FDA boxed warning.
