title: Immunohistochemical expression of IL-10 in mycosis fungoides.
abstract: Immunoreactivity of the cytokine IL-10 has been investigated in situ in mycosis fungoides (MF). Expression of IL-10 was detected using immunohistochemistry in skin biopsies (n = 8) and T-cell lines (n = 2) from mycosis fungoides patients. IL-10 positivity was seen in the dermal cell infiltrates and in T-cell lines in mycosis fungoides. The dermal IL-10 reaction in a skin biopsy from an active lesion in MF indicates the possibility for disease progression.
