behavior/neurological

excessive scratching ( J:220622 )

integument

skin inflammation ( J:220622 )

• eosinophil and mast cell infiltration is seen in perilesional and lesional skin

abnormal coat/hair pigmentation ( J:220622 )

• mice gray early

focal hair loss ( J:220622 )

• some mice carry patchy fur or even total hair loss

sparse hair ( J:220622 )

• thinner fur

abnormal skin morphology ( J:220622 )

• anchoring fibrils in skin are short, unorganized, and in some cases, abnormally clustered

• healthy skin from newborns and adults shows rudimentary and malformed hemidesmosomes, as well as lower numbers of hemidesmosomes

hyperkeratosis ( J:220622 )

• hyperkeratosis is seen in perilesional skin

thick epidermis ( J:220622 )

• perilesional skin shows thickening of the epidermis

blistering ( J:220622 )

• subepidermal microblisters in the skin of newborns

skin lesions ( J:220622 )

• mice develop large erosions that are mostly covered by crusts on the nape of the neck, ears, snout, and tail, and sometimes on the paws
