OBJECTIVE: To investigate the response of skin arterioles from control subjects and patients with scleroderma and Raynaud’s phenomenon (RP/SSc) to cooling and modulators of protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) activity. METHODS: We used the microvessel perfusion technique to characterize the response of isolated dermal arterioles (100-200 microm, outside diameter) from normal (n = 17) and RP/SSc (n = 17) subjects to cooling from 37 degrees to 31 degrees C
