Article Title: Identification of Glucocorticoid-Induced TNF Receptor-Related Protein Ligand on Keratinocytes: Ligation by GITR Induces Keratinocyte Chemokine Production and Augments T-Cell Proliferation

Figure Lengend Snippet: Keratinocytes regulate the expression of TARC (a and b), CTACK (c and d), MCP-1 (e and f), and MBD3 (g and h) mRNA levels after reverse stimulation through GITRL. Skin biopsies from male Balb/C mice were incubated for 6 hours (a, c, e, and g) or 24 hours (b, d, f, and h) in the presence or absence of GITR: Fc FP (1 or 10 μg ml−1) or Control: Fc FP, then harvested and analyzed for mRNA expression by RT-PCR using primers specific for TARC, CTACK, MCP-1, MBD3, and 18S RNA. Values indicate the mean±SEM of six independent experiments.
