Effect of WuWeiXiaoDuYin (五味消毒饮) and its components on LFA-1 mediated leukocyte adhesion to ICAM-1. by Tan, Kang Ting.

“…An important phase during leukocyte infiltration is the firm adhesion of leukocyte function associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) of leukocytes to intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) of endothelium cells and keratinocytes as it is an important initiator of leukocyte-dependent damage to keratinocytes and can worsen uncomfortable symptoms of pruritus, edema and erythema. Western medicine like corticosteroids and immunosuppressant are commonly prescribed to treat dermatitis. …”
