Effect of ALE on epidermal hyperplasia and infiltration of immune cells in CD mice. Skin tissue was observed under a light microscope. (A) NOR; ((B) and (C)) CTL; (D) 30 μg/ear of ALE; (E) 300 μg/ear of ALE; (F) 75 μg/ear of DEX. Magnification, 50x. Yellow bars indicate the epidermis. Filled arrows indicate pustule areas (a). The epidermal thickness (A) and infiltration of immune cells (B) were evaluated using a quantitative method. Abbreviations are the same as in Figure 2. (b). Values are presented as the means ± SD. compared to the NOR group and compared to the CTL group.
