appears on the skin. We separated lymphocytes from the inflamed skin of NC/ Nga mice using collagenase I (Sigma-Aldrich) and counted the numbers of nuocytes (ST21/Sca-11/lineage marker-negative) by FACS. Results: (1) The reactions were hapten specific. Wild-type BALB/c mice showed both immediate and delayed-type reactions, whereas ST2 KO mice did not show any immediate reaction. (2) When IL-33 ...
