Quantification of macrophage infiltration (A) and burn healing determined by % of epidermal regeneration (B) in burns treated with α-gal nanoparticles (closed circles) or with saline (open circles). (A) The number of infiltrating macrophages at various time points was determined in histological sections by counting cells within a rectangular area marked in a microscope lens at magnification of ×400. (B) The proportion (%) of epidermis regeneration was determined histologically by the proportion of the burn surface covered with the newly formed epidermis. Mean ± S.E. from five mice per group.
