Antigen challenge to skin:

… For OVA + CT immunization, mice were immunized epicutaneously as previously described8. Briefly, we used scotch tape (3M) to gently remove the cornified layer of ear skin, and then treated the skin with acetone and cholera toxin adjuvant (List Biological Labs) before administrating chicken ovalbumin + cholera toxin.
