(A) Histopathology of skin biopsy from WT and
Adam17fl/flSox9-Cre
(Adam17ΔSox9) mice. Scale bars, 50 μm.
(B–D) TEWL, serum IgE and serum CCL17/TARC values in WT and
Adam17ΔSox9 mice (N=8).
(E) Flow cytometry analysis of IFN-γ, IL-4 and IL-17A production in
CD4+ cells from lymph nodes, and (F, G) IL-17A and IL-22 production
by CD3+ cells in epidermis of WT and
Adam17ΔSox9 mice (N=8).
TCRγδhigh cells represent dendritic epidermal T cells, and
TCRγδmid cells represent γδ T cells that have
infiltrated epidermis from the dermis. Data in B–G are shown as mean ± SD.
*P<0.05, **P<0.01,
***P<0.001,
