Immunohistochemical micrograph for TGF-β1 in human skin. A, a section from a healthy person showing discrete cell levels in the stratum corneum (Sc), stratum lucidum (Sl), epidermis (Ep) and dermis (De); TGF-β1 was strongly expressed in epidermis of healthy skin. No immunoreactivity is seen in dermis of healthy skin. B, TGF-β1 is intensely expressed in basal layer of epidermis of a chronic dermatitis patient. C, Epidermis of a chemically injured person weakly showed immunoreactivity for TGF-β1 throughout the entire epidermis.
