Fig 1 Skin lesion development in Flgft/ft mice is dependent on adaptive immunity. A, Representative photomicrographs of nonlesional and lesional skin (scale bar: 100 μm). B, Epidermal thickness. C-E, Dermal eosinophils, neutrophils, and CD3+ cells per HPF (400×). Ten fields were counted. Values represent means ± SEMs (n = 3-6/group). HPF, High power field; n.a., not applicable. **P < .01, ***P < .001, by Student 2-tailed t test.

Fig 2 Innate cells contribute to the IL-17A–dominated cytokine expression in the skin of Flgft/ft mice. A-G, mRNA expression for IL-17A, IL-6, IL-23a, CXCL2, IL-22, IL-4, and IFN-γ by quantitative PCR. Values represent the mean ± SEM of the cytokine:beta-2-microglobulin mRNA ratios (n = 4-6/group), calculated relative to the mean ratio in WT controls, set at 1. n.d., Not detected. *P < .05, **P < .005, by Student 2-tailed t test.

Fig E1 Innate immune cells can be detected in the skin of Flgft/ft mice. A, Dermal mast cells per HPF (400×). Ten fields were counted. Values represent means ± SEMs (n = 4/group). B, Gating strategy for skin CD45+lin−CD3−CD90.2+IL7R+ ILCs and CD45+CD3−NKp46+ NK cells. C-D, Representative dot plots of skin CD45+lin−CD3−CD90.2+IL7R+ ILCs and CD45+CD3−NKp46+ NK cells as determined by fluorescence-assisted cell sorting. HPF, High-power field; ILCs, innate lymphoid cells; NK, natural killer.
