RESULTSA lymphocyte proliferative response was observed in cultures incorporating supernatants from cultured cells derived from perilesional tissues (median stimulation index 17.5, range 9.8-36), in contrast to normal controls (median stimulation index 1.3, range 0.97-1.8), p= 0.012, Mann-Whitney U test. Similar responses were observed with supernatants derived from both dermal papilla cells and interfollicular fibroblasts. TIns occurred irrespective of the source of responder cells and whether autologous or allogeneic combinations of dermal papilla cells and responder cells were used. No sigrllficant proliferative effect occurred in experiments using media from cultures derived from non-Iesional sites in alopecia arcata patients, or from normal control subjects. Significantly higher levels of IL-6 were detected in superna tants derived from perilesional dermal papilla cells (median level 55 ng/ml, range 6.7-440) and in one cell line from a non lesional site than in those from normal dermal papilla cells (median level 3.0 ng/ml, range 2.6-8.5), p= 0.037, Mann Whitney U test. Biologic activity of the IL-6 in these superna tants was confirmed by neutralization with polyclonal goat anti-human IL-6 antiserum prior to performing the B9 assay. When the lymphocyte proliferation assay was repeated using supernatant samples pre-incubated for 1 h with nentralizing IL-6 antiserum, there was only a small reduction in the proliferative response that was not significant (analysis of variance), suggest ing IL-6 was of only modest importance in inducing the mitogenic effect observed. In normal hair follicles, staining with the Mx antibodies was confined to the inner root sheath. Increased staining for Mx protein was observed within the hair follicles of perilesional alopecia areata tissues only. The distri bution of increased Mx expression was mainly in the keratino cytes of the outer root sheath and matrix of lesional anagen follicles but was mildly increased also in the dermal papilla compared to normal scalp tissue.
