Abstract
The lymphocyte proliferation of 15 psoriatic patients was studied after stimulation with tuberculin, trichophytin, varidase, concanavalin A (Con A), and pokeweed mitogen (PMW) during the first and the eighth PUVA treatment, 2 h after oral intake of 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP), immediately after UVA-irradiation, and 24h later. There was a significant decrease of the lymphocyte proliferation, after stimulation with Con A (PPPPPP<0,05) signifikant vermindert, nicht aber nach Stimulierung mit PWM und Tuberkulin. Diese Verminderung wurde durch die nachfolgende UVA-Bestrahlung nicht signifikant verändert und war nach 24 h nicht mehr nachweisbar. Ein solcher Dunkeleffekt des 8-MOP konnte während der achten Behandlung nicht mehr beobachtet werden. 8-MOP scheint die Lymphocytenproliferation im Dunkeln durch die Beeinflussung der Zelloberfläche, nicht des Kerns, zu hemmen. Das Verschwinden des Effekts während der PUVA-Therapie könnte durch eine änderung der Oberflächenstruktur der Lymphocyten erklärt werden.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
