Nevertheless, changes in the AD molecular profile with age are unknown. We sought to characterize age-related changes in the AD profile. We evaluated age-specific changes in lesional and nonlesional tissues and blood from patients with moderate-to-severe AD (n = 246) and age-matched control subjects (n = 71) using immunohistochemistry, quantitative real-time PCR, and Singulex in a cross-sectional study. Patients were analyzed by age group (18-40, 41-60, and ≥61 years). Although disease severity/SCORAD scores were similar across AD age groups (mean, approximately 60 years; P = .873), dendritic cell infiltrates (CD1b+ and FcεRI+, P  The adult AD profile varies with age. Although TH1/TH17 skewing increases in both patients with AD and control subjects, patients with AD show unique decreases in TH2/TH22 polarization and normalization of epithelial abnormalities. Thus age-specific treatment approaches might be beneficial for AD. YR 2019 FD 2019-01-24 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10668/13466 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10668/13466 LA en DS RISalud RD Apr 7, 2025
