Table 2.

Criteria employed for the classification of systemic inflammation. The scoring system (none, mild, and severe) was based on the distribution of neutrophils in zebrafish.

Score Distribution of Neutrophils
None Neutrophils aligned in the caudal hematopoietic tissue (CHT); neutrophils concentrated in the glomerular region of pronephros; absence of cells in the heart, brain, and around the eyes.
Mild More dispersed neutrophils are in the glomerular region of pronephros; neutrophils are present in the muscular portion of the tail; cell infiltration in the liver.
Severe Low concentration of cells in the glomerular region of pronephros; a high number of neutrophils in the liver; presence of neutrophils in the heart, brain, and around the eyes; CHT emptied.
