depigmentation in mice immunized with hTRP-2. Groups
of 12-19 C57BL/6 mice (wild type) and mice of the same background
deficient in IL4 (IL4-/-) or IFN-gamma (IFN-gamma-/-)
were immunized with hTRP-2 and observed for the appearance
of white hair. (A) The appearance of representative mice observed
for 70 days after immunization- left to right: wild type,
IL4-/-, IFN-gamma-/-. (B) The number of
depigmented abdominal quadrants measured over time. IL4-/-
mice depigmented most quickly, but wild type animals eventually
achieved the same degree of depigmentation.
