Lymphocyte and macrophage subsets in active and inactive lesions of lichen planus
R Akasu, L From, HJ Kahn - The American journal of …, 1993 - journals.lww.com
Lichen planus (LP) is a mucocutaneous disease for which the etiology and pathogenesis
are poorly understood. We performed an immunohistochemical study on formalin-fixed
tissue sections of 10 cases of LP using subsets of antibodies to lymphocytes (LCA, CD3,
OPD4-CD4, L26, LN1 and Leu-7), and monocyte-macrophages [lysozyme, KP1-Mac, Factor
XIIIa (FXIIIa) and S-100 protein]. Six cases showed typical histological features of active LP,
two cases showed features of active and inactive LP, and two cases showed only inactive …
