Pieces of plantar stratum corneum were incubated with trypsin. This resulted in cell dissociation. The only observable ultrastructural change caused by trypsin was a degradation of desmosomal plates between dissociating cells. This suggests that desmosomes are of primary importance in plantar stratum corneum cell adhesion.Downloads
