This appears to concentrate in the skin - so good for psoriasis (in fact the lack of immune suppression is potentially a plus compared with ISA247), but not good for transplantation.

Note that 247, because it is an immunosuppressant, is always going to be reserved for serious psoriasis, even if there are no kidney tox issues. So it wouldn't necessarily completely displace the biologics.
