Figure 2 Number of positive cells in active skin lesions of patients with dermatomyositis.
Vimentin+ fibroblasts, CD34+ DDCs and αSMA+ myofibroblasts are increased, but factor XIIIa+ DDCs are decreased in diseased skin compared to normal skin. A significant difference is evident for tryptase-positive mast cells between the diseased and control groups (P < 0.0003). DDCs: Dermal dendritic cells; α-SMA: α-smooth muscle actin.
