Abstract excerpt
To investigate the role of retinoid X receptors (RXRs) in epidermal homeostasis, we generated RXRalphabeta(ep-/-) somatic mutants in which both RXRalpha and RXRbeta are selectively ablated in epidermal keratinocytes of adult mice. These mice develop a chronic dermatitis mimicking that observed in atopic dermatitis (AD) patients. In addition, they exhibit immunological abnormalities including elevated serum levels...
