Figure 5. More Merkel cells are generated after shaving of skin.

Figure 5

(A) Sectioned back skin (single z-slice) from female P56 C57BL/6J mice that received 0.2mg/mL EdU in their drinking water for five weeks and were shaved once weekly. Tissue was processed for EdU (A’; green) and K8 immunostaining (A’’; red). Yellow arrow indicates a K8+EdU+ cell. Percentage of K8+ cells that were EdU+ shown (A’’’) (n=2 mice). (B) Average percent of K8+EdU+/K8+ cells in back and belly skin of shaved and unshaved mice (n=2–3 mice/condition). Bars on graph are SEMs. Scale bar: 50µm.
