  • Organism: Human
  • Disease: Vitiligo
  • Model: Primary line
  • Conditional: No
  • Description: Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition characterised by patches of the skin losing their pigment. The patches of skin affected become white and usually have sharp margins. The exact cause of vitiligo is unknown however it is believed to be due to genetic susceptibility that is triggered by an environmental factor such that an autoimmune disease occurs. High frequencies of melanocyte-reactive cytotoxic T cells in the peripheral blood of vitiligo patients and the observed correlation between pe...
  • Production details: T cell lines were generated from fresh skin biopsies. Biopsies were incubated in a 24 well plate coated with 10Â?„?žg/well fibronectin to facilitate spontaneous migration of T cells from the biopsy into the Iscove's Modified Dulbecco Medium (IMDM) supplemented with 10% normal human serum, 1mM glutamine, 100U/ml penicillin and 100Â?„?žg/ml streptomycin. After 5 days extravasated skin T cells were transferred to an uncoated 24 well plate and expanded by mitogenic stimulation with 0.05% PH...
