Inflammatory cytokine mRNA in skin punch biopsies were quantified by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Data are expressed as individual data points with medians, relative to housekeeping gene ABL. *Values were zero but for displaying purposes values were changed to 0.001 (interferon [IFN]‐γ) or 0.0001 (interleukin [IL]‐6). LPS, lipopolysaccharide; TNF, tumour necrosis factor
