Skin changes in response to IMQ treatment in the study group mice. (a) Group A showed skin thickening, erythema and few scales compared with the controls. (b) Group B showed profound thickening and erythema, and formation of many sheet-form scales. The psoriasis-like cutaneous changes in IMQ-treated ear also showed a treatment duration-dependent manner, control groups (c), group A (d) and Group B (e). After the IMQ application, the skin thickness increased sharply on the ear (f) and back (g). Modified PASI scores include erythema (h), skin scales (i), and thickening (j). The total score (k) indicating the overall status. *p<0.05; **p<0.01, ***p<0.001
