Figure 7
Upregulation of IL-8–positive mast cells in lesional skin from patients with AD or psoriasis. Tissue sections from (A) psoriatic healthy-looking and (C) lesional skin were first enzyme-histochemically stained for tryptase. After photography, sections were restained with a polyclonal antibody to IL-8. Results for (B) psoriatic healthy-looking and (D) lesional skin are shown. Percentages of IL-8–expressing mast cells in healthy-looking and lesional skin were determined for (E) 6 AD subjects and (F) 6 psoriatic subjects. Magnification, ×66.
