✦ Synopsis


A method is described for the determination of 8-methoxypsoralen in human serum using a fluorodensitometric method. The fluorescence densitometry was carried out directly on the thin layer plate. The developing fluid consisted of chloroform/methanol. In patients with psoriasis after oral application of 8-methoxypsoralen the peak serum levels are mostly found between 2 and 3 h. One milliliter serum is sufficient to determine 8-methoxypsoralen levels. The results are in accordance with those obtained with gas chromatographic methods.

An improved fluorodensitometric assay for the determination of 8methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) in plasma is described. Because of its low limit of detection (below 1 rig/spot) this method is suitable to determine the drug in skin suction blister fluid, too. The standard deviation of the procedure is 6.4 %

Increased levels of the soluble CD8 antigen probably represent a sign of suppressor T-cell activity. The concentration of CD8 was measured in the sera of patients with psoriasis without psoriatic arthritis (n = 25) and atopic dermatitis (n = 26), exhibiting moderate to severe disease activity, in co
