Figure 5 Histological examinations of the skin sections stained with hematoxylin-eosin (Magnification: 200×). (A) Normal mice. (B) The skin sections of the imiquimod (IMQ) group exhibited epidermal thickening, hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis, and inflammation in the dermis. (C, D) The hyperkeratosis and acanthosis in the pGP3 (IM-pGP3) and pGP3M (IM-pGP3M) intramuscular injection groups were milder than that in the IMQ group and (E) the phosphate-buffered saline intramuscular injection group.
