title: FITC-insulin binding to normal and psoriatic epidermis.
abstract: FITC-insulin was prepared and applied to frozen human skin sections. In normal and nonlesional psoriatic epidermis, the binding was cytoplasmic in suprabasal cells. In psoriatic lesions, fairly stained or even unstained cells were littered in suprabasal epidermis indicating the expansion of selected basal cell qualities into the stratum spinosum.
