Fig 4. GM-CSF deficiency does not alter epidermal thickening during IMQPD.

Fig 4

Mice were sacrificed at day 6 after IMQ application. (a) Representative hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining of healthy (upper panel) and inflamed skin following IMQ application (bottom panel) in wild-type (Wt) and GM-CSF-/- mice. (b) Quantification of epidermal thickness of HE-stained histological samples (left: Wt n = 5; GM-CSF-/- -n = 4) and Ki67 mRNA expression in skin by qPCR (right: Wt n = 12; GM-CSF-/- n = 13; each symbol represents the quantified measured mRNA of one mouse). Scale bar as indicated.
