Figure 1 Neutrophil elastase staining in the dermis of a healthy control and PLE patient after three MED UVB. (A+E) Unexposed (-UV), (B–D+F–H) hours after UVB exposure (+UV 3, 6, 18 h). UVB dose given in these volunteers was equal. Scale bar: 50 μm.

Figure 2 Number of elastase positive neutrophils in the dermis in time after three MED UVB. () Controls (n=6), () PLE patients (n=5). Mean number of cells mm2±SEM, statistical significance *p<0.05, at t=18 h, between control group and PLE group.

Figure 4 Cell surface markers on human neutrophils. (▪) Controls (n=6), (□) PLE patients (n=5). Data are expressed in corrected mean fluorescence intensity (MFI), calculated by subtracting MFI for isotype controls. Data are based on geometric mean±SEM.

Figure 5 Increase in endothelial cells (EC) expressing ICAM-1 (A), and E-selectin (B) after three MED UVB irradiation. () Controls (n=6), () PLE patients (n=5). Increase is calculated as change compared with number of adhesion molecule expressing EC at t=0 h. Data are displayed as mean±SEM.
