Tissue Culture and Cutaneous Amyloidoses
Wen-Lin Lo, Chu-Kwan Wong
Dermatol Sinica 6: 139-146, 1988
The propagation of living tissue cells in vitro is a major breakthrough of biotechnology in this century. This paper reviewed th studeis of systemic amyloidosis using tissue culture as a main approach in the literature . Primary explant culture of lesional skin from patients with lichen amyloidosus was performed to detect the effect of dimethyl sulphoxide on cutaneous with amyloid. This experimental moder also exemplifid the potentiality of tissue cultru in the rsearch of cutanous amyloidoses. ..................More |
