TLR7−/−KitW-sh/W-sh 28.7 (± 4.2) 
TNF-α−/−KitW-sh/W-sh 25.7 (± 4.1) 
IL1α/β−/−KitW-sh/W-sh 29.7 (± 4.5)

Mast cells/mm ear cartilage
KitW-sh/W-sh ND 
Kit+/+ 30.6 (± 2.4) 
TLR7−/−KitW-sh/W-sh 28.7 (± 4.2) 
TNF-α−/−KitW-sh/W-sh 25.7 (± 4.1)

Mice were reconstituted as described in “Materials and methods.” After 6 weeks, ear sections were stained with avidin-fluorophor conjugate and mast-cell numbers counted. Shown are the means (± SD) from 4 animals per group.

ND indicates not detectable.
