FIG. 5.

Detection of transcripts encoding mBD-1 and mBD-3 in mouse respiratory organs. Tissue samples were frozen in OCT and evaluated by in situ hybridization using digoxigenin-labeled probes. (A and B) Detection of mBD-1-specific transcripts in large airways; (C and D) mBD-3-specific transcripts in small airways; (E and F) mBD-3-specific transcripts in large airways. Left column, sections from animals under normal conditions; right column, sections from mice infected with P. aeruginosa PAO1. Bar, 35 μm.
