Figure 3. SerpinB1a is not required for acidic DNase activity in murine epidermis.

Figure 3

(A) Hoechst labeling of DNA in the interfollicular epidermis of wild-type and serpinB1a knockout mice. The borders of the stratum corneum and the border of the epidermis and dermis are marked with discontinuous and dotted lines, respectively. S, stratum corneum; E, epidermis; D, dermis; scale bars, 20 µm. (B) Acid DNase activity in extracts from the stratum corneum of the soles of a wild-type and a serpinB1a knockout mouse. 2 extracts were prepared from each mouse and incubated with Lambda DNA that was subsequently electrophoresed in the presence of ethidium bromide. The results are representative of investigations of 3 mice per genotype. kb, kilo-basepairs.
