Figure 3: Dermal infiltration of mast cells in the lesional and nonlesional skin representative MRL/lpr mice. (a): nonlesional skin of non-irradiated mice. (b): spontaneous LE-like skin lesion of nonirradiated mice. (c): nonlesional skin of UVA1-irradiated (10 J/c) mice. In the LE-like skin lesions, the most remarkable infiltration of mast cells into dermis was detected (b). There was more number of mast cells infiltrating into the dermis of the UVA1-irradiated (10 J/c) mice (c), as compared to the nonirradiated mice (a). Toluidine blue stain, original magnification, .
