Generation of Il31−/− mice. (a) IL-31 gene targeting strategy. The region containing a part of exon 2 and exon 3 of Il31 was replaced with a cassette consisting of IRES-EGFP and a neomycin resistance gene (Neor), flanked by loxP sequences. (b) Expression of Il31 mRNA in lung tissue from wild-type (n = 8) and Il31−/− (n = 8) mice by qPCR. The data show the mean + SEM. (c) Leukocyte profiles in the spleen from wild-type and Il31−/− mice (n = 3). The percentages of CD19+ CD3 and CD19 CD3+ cells and of Gr1+ Siglec F and Gr1- Siglec F+ cells in 7-AAD-negative spleen cells, and the percentages of CD8+ CD4 and CD8 CD4+ cells in 7-AAD-negative CD3+ spleen cells are shown. Representative flow cytometry data are shown.
