The increased numbers of perforin and granzyme B containing T cells infiltrating the dermoepidermal junction may contribute to the damage of epidermal cells, which is frequently observed as a typical feature of interface dermatitis in drug-induced exanthem. Our data provide further evidence that cytotoxic T cells play an essential role in cutaneous drug reactions.
These results demonstrate that the effects of LPS stimulation depend on both the type of cytokine and the origin of PBMC. Endotoxin exposure is suggested to modulate the disease course of AD.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
