Normal skin DC function in Il31−/− mice. (a) The proportion of FITC-positive cells among 7-AAD-negative MHC class IIhi CD11c+ cells in draining LNs from wild-type (n = 4) and Il31−/− (n = 4) mice 24 hours after sensitization with FITC or vehicle alone was determined by flow cytometry. Representative flow cytometric data are shown. Shaded areas = LNs obtained from the vehicle-treated left ear (lower number [%]), and solid lines = LNs obtained from the FITC-treated right ear (upper number [%]). The data show the mean + SEM. (b) The expression levels of CD86, CD40 and OX40L on 7-AAD-negative MHC class IIhi CD11c+ FITC-positive cells in draining LNs from wild-type and Il31−/− mice 24 hours after sensitization with FITC or vehicle alone were determined by flow cytometry. Representative flow cytometric data are shown for wild-type (n = 6) and Il31−/− (n = 4) mice. Shaded areas = isotype-matched control Ig staining, and solid lines = specific mAb staining.
