Each dot represents one technical replicate from four independent experiments. c , Normalized quantification of number of CD8 + T cells migrated through a transwell membrane towards the supernatant collected from Bulge-SC, IFE-SC or uHF-SC treated with LTBR agonist or isotype control. Each dot represents one technical replicate from three independent experiments. d , Left: Representative max projections of whole mount immunofluorescence of the bulge, uHF and IFE compartment of wild type mice showing distribution of CD4 + cells (in white). Bulge cells are marked by Krt24 in green and upper hair follicle cells are marked by LRIG1 in light blue.

Each dot represents one mouse from two independent experiments. f , Representative images of MSA plates showing bacterial colonies grown after swabbing the back skin of Ltb-CreER x R26-DTA and R26-DTA (ctrl) mice associated with S. epidermidis . Data in b and d are analysed by unpaired two-tailed Student’s t- test. Data in c and e are analysed by ordinary one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison post-test. p -values are indicated in each figure and data are represented as mean with SEM.
