immune system
|
• mutants exhibit impaired epidermal and dermal thickening and collagen deposition in OVA-sensitized skin (to induce allergic skin inflammation) compared to wild-type mice
• eosinophils are not detectable in skin of EC-sensitized mutants with OVA, however dermal infiltration by CD4+ cells is similar to wild-type mice and systemic immune response to EC sensitization with OVA is comparable to wild-type controls
