Figure 1. Application of S. aureus exacerbates allergic skin inflammation caused by EC sensitization with OVA.

Figure 1.

A. Experimental protocol. Mice were EC sensitized mice with OVA or saline on tape stripped skin with or without application of S. aureus. B. Representative H&E sections. Scale bar: 100 mm. C. Skin CD3+ T cell (left) and eosinophil (right) numbers. D. Skin Il4, Il13 and Il17a mRNA levels E. OVA-specific IgE. F. Cytokine production by OVA stimulated splenocytes. Results in A-E are representative of 2 independent experiments with 4-5 mice/group. Bars represent means±SEM. * = p<0.05, ** =p<0.005. Significance was calculated by using two-tailed Student’s t test.
