Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Alopecia areata (AA) model mouse, C3H/HeJ mouse was employed in this study, Lymphonode cells from C3H/HeJ mouse with AA were activated with IL-2, IL-7 and IL-15 for 5 days. Then, these activated LN cells were intracutaneously injected into healthy C3H/HeJ mouse. The frequency of pDCs were significantly higher in non lesional skin in AA mouse. Furthermore, pDCs from spleen cells induced alopecia lesions in healthy C3H/HeJ mouse. PDCs might be important initiator of AA in C3H/HeJ mouse.
