MODULATION OF CYTOKINE EXPRESSION IN HUMAN KERATINOCYTES AND FIBROBLASTS BY EXTRACTS OF SCABIES MITES
1 Dec 2003
Abstract excerpt
Sarcoptes scabiei lives in the stratum corneum of its mammalian host. Keratinocytes and fibroblasts are among the first cells to encounter the burrowing mite and its products. The aim of this study was to determine if molecules in an extract of S. scabiei modulate the expression of cytokines by keratinocytes and fibroblasts. Human keratinocytes and fibroblasts were exposed to an extract of S. scabiei var. canis...
