Extract of Rhus verniciflua Bark Suppresses 2,4-Dinitrofluorobenzene-Induced Allergic Contact Dermatitis

Figure 3

Effects of RV extract on epidermal thickness and histopathological changes in DNFB-induced allergic contact dermatitis mice. (a) Histological changes were determined by H&E staining. Scale bar = 100 μm. Original magnification, 200x. (b) Epidermal thickness of the H&E stained ear tissue was measured using Axiovision image analysis 4.7 software. Data are expressed as mean ± standard error (S.E.) of three independent experiments (𝑛=5 per group) (^∗𝑃<0.001 versus control; ^#𝑃<0.05 versus DNFB).
