Name Time Method <p>Effect on the psoriatic process is tested by histology and immuno-histochemical<br /><br>techniques in the transplanted biopsies. Main read-out epidermal thickness.</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Additionally, several markers which are know to be associated with lesional<br /><br>psoriasis skin wil be evaluated. This allows us to make a better comparison<br /><br>between the human situation and the processes seen in the model.</p><br>
