Lesional CD8+ T Cell Number Predicts Surgical Outcomes of Melanocyte-Keratinocyte Transplantation Surgery for Vitiligo.
The melanocyte-keratinocyte transplantation procedure (MKTP) treats stable and recalcitrant vitiligo. Despite careful selection of candidates based on clinical stability, the success of the procedure is unpredictable. The aim of our study was to define the immunological profile of stable vitiligo lesions undergoing MKTP and correlate them with clinical outcomes. We included 20 MKTP candidates with vitiligo and a piebaldism patient ... Read more
