However, the grafts retained all characteristics of lesional psoriatic skin as seen in the negative controls.

Steroids have their place in the treatment of psoriasis, although systemic application should be used with great caution. Thus, efficacy of oral dexamethasone treatment in this animal model is not surprising.
