Cyclosporin inhibits intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression and reduces mast cell numbers in the asebia mouse model of chronic skin inflammation.

Abstract excerpt

The asebia mouse represents a spontaneous mutation in BALB/c mice leading to hyperplasia of the epidermis and chronic inflammatory dermal changes including enhanced cellularity, oedema and elevated mast cell numbers. We demonstrated that asebia mice have constitutively elevated intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) mRNA expression, which is not detectable in the wild type, and that dermal mast cell numbers...
