Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is to determine if subjects with .systemic sclerosis have stimulatory autoantibodies to the PDGF receptor and to confirm activation (phosphorylation) of the PDGF receptor in skin sites with varying degrees of skin thickening

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Fulfill the American College of Rheumatology criteria for systemic sclerosis or:
2. Have no diseases that result in primary fibrosis of an organ system, including the skin and do not have an autoimmune disease

Exclusion Criteria

1. If the subject has systemic sclerosis resulting from an environmental exposure
2. If the subject has an autoimmune disease excluding scleroderma
3. If the subject has an active infection (including, but not limited to hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV)
4. If the subject has been treated with cyclophosphamide in the past 8 weeks.
5. If the subject is prone to bleeding because they are on medications that thin the blood or have a low platelet count.
