Clinical scores, epidermal thickness and the infiltration of immune cells in AD mice.

<p><b>a:</b> Clinical scores; <b>b</b>: Thickness of lesion skin epidermis; <b>c</b>: Mast cells number; <b>d</b>: CD4 cell number. The dermatitis score were measured at 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 week after AD induction and defined as the sum of scores for five clinical criteria: erythema, edema, excoriation, hemorrhage and dryness; 5 fields from each sample were randomly selected to measured epidermis thickness; CD4+ T cells and mast cells were counted randomly in 10 high-power fields. The final score was taken as an average after every group scores were accumulated. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 6). ^# p<0.05 vs. control group, *p<0.05 vs. AD group, **p<0.01 vs. AD group.
