Fig 1 Characterization of patients with AD or IV by liquid chromatography (LC)/MS/MS analysis and immunohistochemistry. A, Representative LC/MS/MS analysis of SC. MS spectra were examined in the individual subjects. Note that nonspecific signals, such as polymer and contaminants, were not detected. Substances were detected by using the Mascot search engine (Matrix Science, London, UK; version 2.4) against SwissProt database of human. The amounts of individual proteins were semi-quantified by using the Proteome Discoverer v.1.4 software (Thermo Fisher Scientific). B, Comparison of FLG amounts between normal healthy subjects and patients with EAD, IAD, and IV. FLG quantity was decreased in patients with EAD, IAD, and IV than in normal subjects (**P < .01). C, Representative hematoxylin and eosin staining histopathology of the epidermis and dermal eccrine sweat glands in a normal subject and a patient with EAD. Scale bar is 100 μm (top). Representative mmunohistochemical staining for GCDFP15 (bottom). Red arrowheads, acrosyringium. Scale bar is 100 μm.
