Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Natural moisturizing factor (NMF) is used as genotypic and phenotypic biomarker in diagnostics. This study is a side-to-side comparison of two different methods to determine NMF in atopic dermatitis patients: Raman microspectroscopy and stratum corneum tape stripping followed by HPLC. RESULTS: Measured NMF values were significantly correlated (R2 = .61; p < .0001), both methods demonstrated a...
