[Fibronectin in the skin of patients with allergic dermatitis].
In the skin of healthy subjects linear deposits were found of fibronectin at the dermoepidermal junction and in the walls of blood vessels, and reticular deposits in the papillary and reticular layers of the skin. In the epidermis of 12 out of 51 patients with allergic contact dermatitis fibronectin deposits were found in relation to Langerhans cells and keratinocytes. This was not observed in the epidermis in healthy subjects. The authors suggest that fibronectin on the surface of Langerhans cells and keratinocytes may play a role in antigen presentation.
