A
Representative photographs of the ears of WT mice (left panel) and IL‐23−/− mice (right panel) after intradermal injection with IL‐23 (500 ng) on every other day for 8 times, n = 6 per group.
-
B
The ear thickness of WT and IL‐23−/− mice on the indicated day presented relative to day 0. Significant differences are indicated: one‐way ANOVA, n = 6 per group (mean ± SEM).
-
C
Representative H&E staining of the ears treated as in (A), n = 6 per group. Scale bar: 50 μm.
-
D
Acanthosis of WT and IL‐23−/− mice treated with IL‐23. Significant differences are indicated: two‐tailed Student's t‐test, n = 6 per group (mean ± SEM).
-
E
Representative immunostaining of Ki67 in ear skin derived from WT and IL‐23−/− mice treated with IL‐23 n = 6 per group. Scale bar: 50 μm.
-
F
Quantitation of Ki67+ cells in ear skin derived from WT and IL‐23−/− mice treated with IL‐23. Significant differences are indicated: two‐tailed Student's t‐test, n = 6 per group (mean ± SEM).
-
G, H
ELISA detection of IL‐23p19 (G) and IL‐17 (H) protein levels in supernatants of ear skin homogenates derived from indicated groups. Significant differences are indicated: two‐tailed Student's t‐test, n = 3–5 per group (mean ± SEM).
