The responses in five types of leucoderma to three different transplantation methods: autologous cultured melanocytes, ultrathin epidermal sheets and basal layer cell suspension are investigated to form a basis for guidance in the selection of patients who will benefit most from the treatments.

Long-term follow-up study of segmental and focal vitiligo treated by autologous, noncultured melanocyte-keratinocyte cell transplantation.

Melanocyte-keratinocyte cell transplantation is a simple, safe, and effective surgical therapy that patients with segmental and focal vitiligo can experience a prolonged disease-free period, which may extend through the rest of their lives.

Comparison of micro skin grafting and transplantation of non-cultured melanocyte keratinocyte suspension for the treatment of stable vitiligo: A pilot study

Both non-cultured epidermal suspension (NCES) and micro skin grafting (MSG) have been found to be safe and effective modalities with comparable efficacy in the surgical treatment of stable vitiligo, however, future trials on large sample sizes are warranted to validate the results.

Autologous Cultured and Noncultured Melanocyte Transplantation Versus Dermabrasion with Split Thickness Skin Grafting in Cases of Non Progressive Vitiligo and Post Burn Leukoderma

Autologous cultured/non cultured melanocytes could be effective method for treatment of stable vitiligo as well as post burn leucoderma because it is simpler, less costy, shorter time for the method.

Piebald trait: implication of kit mutation on in vitro melanocyte survival and on the clinical application of cultured epidermal autografts.

Results indicate that the clinical application of cultured epidermis in piebald patients may be optimized by investigating mutation functional effects before planning surgical operations, and whether the kit mutation type may affect the in vitro survival/proliferation of patient melanocytes.

Follow-up study of vitiligo patients treated with autologous epidermal sheet transplants

Investigating the long-term results and factors that might influence the outcome of the autologous epidermal grafting technique to form a basis for guidance for patients with vitiligo found that a high percentage of repigmentation is achieved which is affected by sex, age, types, position, duration and the stability time before transplantation in Vitiligo patients.

A retrospective study of long term follow-up of 2283 vitiligo patients treated by autologous, non-cultured melanocyte–keratinocyte transplantation

Various factors such as duration of disease stability, vitiligo type, family history, site of lesion should be carefully assessed before using MKTP, as it would further improve the post-operative repigmentation.

A retrospective study of 100 cases of focal vitiligo treated by autologous, noncultured melanocyte-keratinocyte cell transplantation

This is a simple, safe, and effective surgical therapy for replenishing the missing melanocytes in resistant cases of vitiligo with very good cosmetic acceptability.

Autologous Epidermal Cultures and Narrow‐Band Ultraviolet B in the Surgical Treatment of Vitiligo

This therapy can be considered for the treatment of stable vitiligo (especially focal and segmental) resistant to standard therapies, although the treatment is costly and highly specialized.

Melanocyte-keratinocyte transplantation procedure in the treatment of vitiligo: the experience of an academic medical center in the United States.

A comparative study of efficacy of split-thickness skin grafting versus autologous melanocyte transfer in the management of stable vitiligo.

Leucoderma treated by transplantation of a basal cell layer enriched suspension

In patients with widespread piebaldism it is found that by diluting the cell suspension the recipient area could be increased to up to 10 times the size of the donor area with the same good results as without or with less dilution.

Transplantation of melanocytes in vitiligo

The method is time‐consuming, but the results obtained indicate that the procedure can be valuable in motivated patients, when the extent of vitiligo does not exceed 30% of the total body area, and when the areas to be treated are not actively extending.

Peripheral T‐Cell Activation in Non‐Segmental Vitiligo

A role for T cells in the pathogenesis of vitiligo is suggested and it is implied that previous PUVA therapy may be reflected by an alteration in circulating DR + ve cells.

Epidermal sheet grafts for repigmentation of vitiligo and piebaldism, with a review of surgical techniques.

Thin epidermal sheets, obtained by a high-speed air-driven dermatome, were used to repigment white areas in 19 patients with vitiligo and one boy with piebaldism, finding a niche in the treatment of depigmented skin, especially in larger areas.

Combination of PUVAsol and Topical Calcipotriol in Vitiligo

The combination of PUVA and calcipotriol is highly effective and works faster and may be used for shortening the therapy with PUVA in the treatment of vitiligo.

High Frequency of Skin-homing Melanocyte-specific Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes in Autoimmune Vitiligo

High frequencies of circulating MelanA-specific, A*0201-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes (A2–MelanA tetramer+ CTLs) in seven of nine HLA-A-0201–positive individuals with vitiligo are observed, consistent with a role of skin-homing autoreactive melanocyte-specific C TLs in causing the destruction of melanocytes seen in autoimmune vitILigo.

Vitiligo: repigmentation with cultured melanocytes after cryostorage.

This work reports here on 4 cases in which it has cryostored cultured melanocytes for 6-12 months, reimplanted them into vitiliginous sites of the donor after one week of reculture, and obtained optimal repigmentation.

Anti-tyrosinase-related protein-2 immune response in vitiligo patients and melanoma patients receiving active-specific immunotherapy.

It is demonstrated that TRP-2 autoantigen is immunogenic in humans and provides a linkage between autoimmune responses by vitiligo patients and melanoma patients responding to immunotherapy who have induced hypopigmentation.
