cellular
• reduction of migration of dermal dendritic cells (both DEC-205-high and DEC-205-low) into the auricular lymph nodes in response to FITC, acetone, and dibutylphthalate
• however, mutants show a similar number of Langerhans cells in the ear epidermis, indicating no defect in dendritic cell colonization at the skin
• culturing epidermal and dermal sheets from the ear from mutants results in the formation of dermal cords similarly to wild-type mice

• culturing epidermal and dermal sheets from the ear from mutants results in the formation of dermal cords similarly to wild-type mice
|
• relative number of eosinophils is higher
|
• total number of white blood cells is slightly lower
|
• Langerhans cells show an overall reduction in maturation markers and MHC II
|
• decrease in lung tissue eosinophils in house dust mite-sensitized/challenged mutants
