Abstract
Whether or not a sample of skin or of a skin equivalent contains such amount of a papillary fibroblast population as to be considered a normal skin is determined by labelling said skin or skin equivalent with at least one antibody specific for papillary fibroblasts and evaluating the extent of such labelling as a marker for skin or skin equivalent quality.

A regime for determining whether or not a sample of skin or of a skin equivalent contains such amount of a papillary fibroblast population as to be considered a normal skin, comprising labelling said skin or skin equivalent with at least one antibody specific for papillary fibroblasts and evaluating the extent of such labelling as a marker for skin or skin equivalent quality.
A regime for determining the presence of papillary fibroblasts in a given sample, comprising labelling said sample with at least one antibody specific for papillary fibroblasts and evaluating the intensity of any such labelling as a marker for the presence of said papillary fibroblasts.
