The main objective of our work was to differentiate between healthy skin (C), atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis vulgaris (PV) biopsies on the base of involucrin (IVL) and human β-defensin-2 (hBD-2) concentrations and their mRNA, as well as mRNA for TPP2 and PSMB8. This evidence concerns the gene TPP2 and acquired polycythemia vera.
