SHARPIN-deficient mice develop a phenotype known as chronic proliferative dermatitis (cpdm), characterized by progressive epidermal hyperplasia, apoptosis of keratinocytes, cutaneous and systemic eosinophilic inflammation, and hypoplasia of secondary lymphoid organs. We recently reported that the cutaneous inflammation in SHARPIN-deficient mice (Sharpincpdm) develops independently of B and T… Show more
