AD-like skin phenotype is alleviated in TSLPR-deficient mice.
(A) Protocol. (B) TEWL was measured 24 hours after
patch removal (n = 5–20 mice per group from 2 separate experiments;
significance assessed by 2-way ANOVA). (C) Representative pictures
taken 24 hours after removal of third patch. (D) Representative
skin section of toluidine blue–stained mast cells. Epidermal thickness
was measured by Image Pro Plus 4.1. (E) OVA-specific IgE blood
levels. (F) Number of dermal eosinophils per HPF (original
magnification ×40). (G) Amount of surface IgE on mast cells
was determined by MFI on lineage-negative cKit+IgE+ skin
cells. (H) Blood levels of MCPT1 after third patch. Significance
was assessed by 1-way ANOVA (*P < .05,
**P < .01, ***P < .001,
****P < .0001, ns = not
significant). HPF, High-power field; MFI, mean
fluorescent intensity.
