Figure Lengend Snippet: Lymphedema results in increased epidermal expression of Th2-inducing cytokines. This phenotype is mitigated by treatment with QBX258. ( a ) Representative immunofluorescent staining (left panels) and quantification (right panel) of TSLP (green) in normal, LE, and LE + tx biopsy specimens. ( b ) Representative immunofluorescent staining (left panels) and quantification (right panel) of IL33 (red) in normal, LE, and LE + tx biopsy specimens. ( c ) Representative immunofluorescent staining (left panels) and quantification (right panel) of IL25 (green) in normal, LE, and LE + tx biopsy specimens. ( d ) Representative immunofluorescent staining (left panels) and quantification (right panel) of IL13R (green) in normal, LE, and LE + tx biopsy specimens. Scale bar: 100 μm; * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01.
