Abstract
A combination of interleukin 10 and methotrexate is used to suppress autoimmune diseases including arthritis and psoriasis. It has been discovered that administration of a combination of interleukin 10 and methotrexate causes suppression of T cell proliferation. Concurrent use of both agents avoids the toxicity associated with higher doses of methotrexate.
