Cell-mediated immunity plays an important role in the pathobiology of tuberculosis (TB). The ligands for CXC chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3) activate the T-helper type 1 lymphocyte pathway. The CXCR3 ligands are reportedly useful clinical markers for the diagnosis and follow-up of TB. The objective of this study was to assess the utility of CXCR3 ligands for evaluating early treatment responses in...

Mycosis fungoides (MF), the most common type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), is characterized by malignant skin infiltration that leads to inflammation and barrier defects. Identifying reproducible biomarkers in MF important for monitoring disease activity. Skin tape-stripping gaining recognition as a non-invasive, easy method tracking biomarkers.
