[Retracted] Ablation of Basic Leucine Zipper Transcription Factor ATF-Like Potentiates Estradiol to Induce Atopic Dermatitis

Increased proliferation and IL-5 production by skin-infiltrating CD4⁺ T cells in female BATF^–/– mice. Splenocytes and tail skin-infiltrating mononuclear cells were isolated from 28-week-old female BATF^–/– (BATF^–/– F) and WT (WT F) mice, followed by flow cytometric analysis. (a) Representative plots and the bar graphs show the percentages of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺cells among CD3⁺TCRβ⁺ living cells in the spleens and tail skins of female BATF^–/– and WT mice. (b–d) Representative plots and the bar graphs show the percentages of Foxp3⁺ (b), Ki67⁺ (c), and IL-5⁺(d) cells within the CD4⁺ living cell populations in the spleens and tail skins of female BATF^–/– and WT mice. Data are shown as (SD) and are representative of three independent experiments. , , and compared with the WT group.
