Increased stratum corneum loss with tape stripping correlates with increased transepidermal water loss in involucrin-Dsg 3 mice. (A) Total protein as a function of number of tape strippings of stratum corneum. (B) Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) as a function of number of tape strippings. Transgenic mice show higher rates of protein loss and higher acceleration of TEWL than control mice with stratum corneum stripping.
