Figure 1. Effects of tape-stripping on the eosinophil infiltration in the eyelid skin.
The hair was clipped before stripping on the eyelid skin sites of MIF Tg mice and WT mice. Then tape-stripping was performed every other day (X0: non stripping, X2: days 0 and days 2, X3: days 0, 2, 4, and 6). The application and removal of the adhesive tape was repeated six times per day. Twenty-four hours after final being tape-stripped, the skin was removed, and the eosinophil infiltration was evaluated by H&E staining. Each value represents the mean ± SD (n = 3, *P<0.05, **P<0.01). The Student's t-test was used.
