Quantification of fetal microchimeric cells in clinically affected and unaffected skin of patients with systemic sclerosis

15 Jun 2004

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Fetal microchimerism has been hypothesized as a potential pathogenic mechanism for systemic sclerosis (SSc). This hypothesis was based on the clinical similarities between SSc and graft-vs-host disease and the identification of microchimeric cells in affected SSc tissues. The aim of this study was to compare the quantity of microchimeric cells in clinically affected and non-affected skin of female...
