a Psoriasis severity of imiquimod (IMQ)-treated skin from Zc3h12c+/+(blue)/Zc3h12c−/− (red)mice was measured daily by mPASI (n = 4 mice per group). Representative pictures of the treated back-skin were shown at right. b–d Percentages of infiltrated immune cells from IMQ-treated Zc3h12c+/+/Zc3h12c−/− back-skin on day 3 were analyzed by flow cytometry (n = 4 mice for Zc3h12c+/+; n = 5 mice for Zc3h12c−/−). Cells were live gated as following: CD45+ leukocytes (Leu), CD45+ CD11b+ F4/80+ CD64+ macrophages (MΦ), CD45+ CD11b+ Ly6G+ neutrophils (Neu), CD45+ CD11b+ Ly6C+ monocytes (Mono). e, f IL-17A production by CD45+ leukocytes (e) and CD3ε+ γδTCR+ T cells (f) at Zc3h12c+/+/Zc3h12c−/− IMQ-treated skin on day 3 was measured by intracellular staining (n = 4 mice for Zc3h12c+/+; n = 5 mice for Zc3h12c−/−). g γδ T-cell subset composition at IMQ-treated Zc3h12c+/+/Zc3h12c−/− back-skin on day 3 was analyzed by flow cytometry (n = 4 mice for Zc3h12c+/+; n = 5 mice for Zc3h12c−/−). Dermal (γδTCR+ TCRβ) and epithelial (γδTCR+ TCRβ+) γδ T-cell subsets were gated from live+ CD45+ CD3ε+. h–k Psoriasis severity of IMQ-treated Zc3h12cfl/fl/Zc3h12cMΦΔ/Zc3h12cDCΔ mice were scored by mPASI daily (h, j), and IL-17A production by γδ T cells (i, k) at day 4 was measured (n = 4 mice per group). l Skin thickness of rIL-23-treated ears of Zc3h12c+/+/Zc3h12c−/− mice was measured daily (n = 5 mice for Zc3h12c+/+; n = 4 mice for Zc3h12c−/−). m TNF production by infiltrated macrophages rIL-23-treated ears of Zc3h12c+/+/Zc3h12c−/− mice at day 9 (n = 5 mice for Zc3h12c+/+; n = 4 mice for Zc3h12c−/−). n IL-17A production by γδ T cells at rIL-23-treated ear on day 9 was measured by intracellular staining (n = 5 mice for Zc3h12c+/+; n = 4 mice for Zc3h12c−/−). o EAE score of Zc3h12c+/+/Zc3h12c−/− mice (n = 5 mice per group). p Psoriasis severity of the chimeras were scored by mPASI daily (n = 5 mice per group). q TNF production by infiltrated macrophages from the chimeras at day 4 was measured by intracellular staining after R848 activation (n = 5 mice per group). Data are representative of five (ag), or two (hq) independent experiments (mean ± S.D.; two-tailed Student’s t test). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
