Abstract excerpt
Apoptosis appears to be the mode of cell death by which damaged cells are removed from the lesional tissue in oral lichen planus (OLP). In the present study, OLP biopsies were immunohistochemically evaluated for TNF-alpha and apoptosis-regulating proteins in an attempt to compare their phenotypic expression. Deparaffinized tissue sections from 22 OLP and 10 control oral biopsy specimens were immunohistochemically...
