title: [Evaluation of neutrophils adhesive molecules CD11b/CD18 in the course of photochemotherapy (PUVA) for psoriasis vulgaris].
abstract: Psoriasis is a common, chronic dermatological disorder. Inflammatory cells assemble in epidermis in the early stage of acute psoriasis. Accumulation of neutrophils at the site of inflammation depends on the expression of adhesion molecules. A variety of stimuli--mediators or selectins can active CD11b/CD18 molecules on the neutrophils surface. The aim of our study was expression of CD11b/CD18 molecules without and after stimulation by fMLP (formyl-Met-Leu-Phe) in patients with psoriasis vulgaris treated by PUVA. Expression of beta2-integrins was estimated with MFI (mean fluorescence intensity). Neutrophils in patient with acute psoriasis showed an increase in CD11b/CD18 expression. It means about an activation of neutrophils and particular role of those molecules in granulocyte adhesion to epidermis in psoriasis.
