Figure Lengend Snippet: HLA-DR and intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 expression in leprosy skin lesions. Figures are representative of HLA-DR ( A – C ) and ICAM-1 ( D – F ). A , only the dermal infiltrates are labelled in a type II reaction biopsy. B , fifty per cent of keratinocytes are labelled in a borderline tuberculoid patient. C , marked expression in type I reaction. D , labelled cells along the basal layer (type II reaction). E , two marked foci in type II reaction. F , the basal layer and addictional foci are stained in a delayed-type hypersensitivity group biopsy specimen. The original magnification is shown.
Article Snippet: Fisher’s test was used to analyse the semiquantitative density of keratinocytes expressing HLA-DR. Graph Pad Instat version 3.01 software (GraphPad Software Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) was used and P < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.
