There is controversy about whether Cyclosporin A (CsA) affects antigen-presenting cell function. Within the skin, Langerhans cells (LC) are very potent antigenpresenting cells. We investigated the effect of CsA on alloantigen presentation by human LC using the in vitro mixed skin-cell lymphocyte rea

Recently, high-dose UVA-1 therapy (340-400 nm) was introduced as an effective treatment of severe exacerbated atopic dermatitis. Since the target of this type of radiation in the skin is not known we investigated using the mouse model whether surface markers of the antigen-presenting function of epi
## Background: Borrelia burgdorferi can be isolated from the skin of patients with acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans (aca), a late-stage manifestation of lyme borreliosis; despite a marked t-cell infiltrate in lesional skin and high antibody titres in patients' sera. ## Objectives: To determine
