Photomicrograph of transverse sections of mice ears sensitized with topical application of Croton oil 5% (v/v) in acetone (b–f) or vehicle acetone (a, noninflamed), stained with hematoxylin-eosin and examined under light microscopy (magnification: 10x, 40x). Treatments: acetone (b), dexamethasone 0.1 mg/ear (c), EMCP 1.0 mg/ear (d) 0.5 mg/ear (e), and 0.1 mg/ear (f). The numbers 1 and 2 indicate epidermis and dermis, respectively. Arrows indicate leukocyte infiltrate in the dermis. The shown sections are representative of four animals per group.
