An obligate role for T-cell receptor αβ+ T cells but not T-cell receptor γδ+ T cells, B cells, or CD40/CD40L interactions in a mouse model of atopic dermatitis Amy L. Woodward, MD, Jonathan M.

Fig. 1 Histologic features of saline-sensitized and OVA-sensitized skin sites in RAG2–/– and CD40–/– mice compared with their WT (129Sv × C57BL/6) controls. Skin sections were stained with standard hematoxylin-eosin. Magnification for large panels: 400×; small panels: 600×. Arrows indicate eosinophils. RAG2–/– mice do not exhibit an increase in dermal eosinophils and total cellular infiltrate after OVA sensitization, as is seen in WT mice. CD40–/– mice exhibit an increase in dermal eosinophils and total cellular infiltrate after OVA sensitization comparable to that observed in WT mice.

Fig. 2 Histologic features and IL-4 mRNA expression in saline- and OVA-sensitized skin sites from RAG2–/–, IgH–/–, and WT control mice. A, Eosinophils/HPF at 1000× magnification. B, Infiltrating mononuclear cells/HPF at 1000× magnification. Mean values from 10 to 20 HPFs per animal are shown (n = 4-8 animals per strain). C, IL-4 mRNA levels as a ratio of IL-4 cDNA to cDNA of the constitutively expressed β2-microglobulin. Columns and bars represent mean values ± SE (n = 4-8 animals per strain). *P < .05.

Fig. 3 Histologic features of saline-sensitized and OVA-sensitized skin sites in IgH–/–, TCRα–/–, and TCRδ–/– mice compared with their WT (C57BL/6) controls. Skin sections were stained with standard hematoxylin-eosin. Magnification for large panels: 400×; small panels: 600×. Arrows indicate eosinophils. IgH–/– mice and TCRδ–/– mice exhibit an increase in dermal eosinophils and total cellular infiltrate after OVA sensitization comparable to that observed in WT mice. TCRα–/– mice do not exhibit an increase in dermal eosinophils and total cellular infiltrate after OVA sensitization, as is seen in WT mice.

A, Eosinophils/HPF at ×1000 magnification. B, Infiltrating mononuclear cells/HPF at ×1000 magnification. C, IL-4 mRNA levels. Columns and bars represent mean values ± SE (n = 4-8 animals per strain). *P < .05. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology , DOI: ( /mai ) Copyright © 2001 Mosby, Inc. Terms and Conditions
