TRPV1 deficiency promotes the function of dermal macrophages. a Representative FACS plots of macrophages in the ear preparations isolated from wt, Trpa1 −/−, Trpv1 −/−, and Trpa1 −/−/Trpv1 −/− dKO mice. Macrophages were defined as I-Ab-lo/- F4/80+ CD11b+ CD11c-; b, c Quantification of the number (b) and the percentage (c) of macrophages based on flow cytometry analysis. n = 3. Data are presented as mean ± SEM.
