When patients were on a calcineurin inhibitor, the risk of keratinocyte carcinomas increased incrementally by 2.6 events per 100 patients per year of follow-up, and the SCC risk increased by 1.7 events per 100 patients per year of follow-up.
To this end, a bi-channel device has been used to culture the keratinocyte cell line HaCaT, as a model of the epidermis barrier, on one side, and a human leukemic monocyte lymphoma cell line (U937), to represent human dendritic cells, on the other side (Ramadan and Ting, 2016).
