Maintenance of Epidermal Structures of Psoriatic Skin in Organ Culture

Abstract A method for maintaining the epidermal structures of the normal human and uninvolved and involved psoriatic skin explants in organ culture was described. Skin explants were put in diffusion chambers made of millipore filters, which were then submitted to a roller tube culture at 15 rpm and 32°C. With a gas phase of air + 5% CO2 (phase A), both normal and psoriatic skin explants in culture…
