immune system
• skin intra epidermal gamma/delta T lymphocytes are generated normally
• migration into the epidermis is impaired
• 2.2 fold reduction in levels in the epidermis at 2-3 days of age
• epidermal deficit continues in older mice but is less severe
• abnormal dendritic morphology
• cell levels in the dermis are 3 times higher
