Proliferating T cells and dendritic cells in the skin lesions of patients with mycosis fungoides / 中华皮肤科杂志

Objective To evaluate the profile of proliferating T cells and dendritic cells ( DCs ) in the skin infiltrates of patients with mycosis fungoides ( MF) in different stages. Method Paraffin section and immunohistochemisty with monoclonal antibody were used to detect the expression of special antigen per section. Results The numbers of Ki-67+ cells and cutaneous lymphocyte-associated antigen ( CLA+) cells both increased significantly in the skin infiltrates of MF. Most Ki-67+ cells expressed both CLA and CD4 antigen. The number of Ki-67+ cells was significantly higher ( P
