Gliederung

Text

Introduction: Chemokines have recently been described in the pathogenesis of polyposis nasi. However, the immunohistological detection of chemokines is difficult. The aim of the study was to investigate the immunohistological examination. Following specimens of dermatoses were examinated. From in vitro examinations the investigated chemokines were described in the skin.

Methods: Biopsies of patients with psoriasis (n=10), eczema (n=10) and normal skin (n=10) were examined. Cryostat sections were stained with the ABC-kit. Twelve monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies were investigated (IL-8, MCP-1, MIP-1alpha and RANTES). Secondly the chemokine antibodies were tested in a solid phase ELISA.

Results: From 5 IL-8 antibodies one monoclonal antibodiy revealed a specific suprabasal immunoreactivity with less staining according to the grade of inflammation. Another monoclonal IL-8 antibody showed a specific homogeneous reaction in psoriasis, eczema and normal skin. One of 2 tested MIP-1alpha antibodies revealed a specific immunoreactivity in the stratum corneum of normal skin. The other antibodies were negative. The solid phase ELISA revealed predominantly specific reactions.

Conclusions: The immunohistological differences depended on the antibodies. For the characterization of chemokines immunohistological examinations are unreliable and should be complemented through other immunoassays (e.g. ELISA/ PCR).
