There is quite a difference between Stelara and Taltz.
Stelara binds on interleukin (IL)-12 and IL-23 and Taltz binds on IL-17A, just like Cosentyx.
As we already see the very positive results of Cosentyx, reported here on the forum, it does make sense that Taltz is also doing well.
IL-17A is a protein, that plays a role in the inflammation, as well as IL-12 and IL-23 are chemicals produced by cells that stimulate inflammation.
Moderating or inhibiting these substances will have effect on the expression of the psoriasis.
