Immunohistochemistry results. Mean positive cells per FOV are plotted for the papillary dermis (Dpap, top) and the reticular dermis (Dret, bottom) for each treatment (A – D) and site (Ctrl: control; treat: local treatment) for calprotectin (a, b), Interleukin (IL)12 (c, d) and IL-18 (e, f) determined by immunohistochemistry. Median, quartiles, minimum and maximum plotted for each dataset. Asterisks (*) with brackets (┌ ┌) and same letters (Aa, Bb) represent significantly different comparisons. Treat samples overall contained significantly more calprotectin-positive cells and IL-12 positive cells than ctrls in the Dpap (a), and Dret (b). For single comparisons, this was significant in Dret (b) in treatment groups A (Aa) and B (Bb). Control samples of A had significantly fewer calprotectin-, IL-18- and IL-12-positive cells than those of other treatment groups. Treat samples of B contained significantly more calprotectin-positive cells in Dret than those of A (*)
