Immunohistochemical localization of TGF-β1. Immunohistochemistry was used to localize the sites of TGF-β1 in WT transgene (−) mice and CC10-IL-13 transgene (+) animals (2–3 mo of age). Epithelial TGF-β1 can be appreciated in the transgene (−) animals (A, original magnification: 20×). Macrophage TGF-β1 is increased (C, original magnification: 20× and E, original magnification: 40×, black arrows), and alveolar type II epithelial cell (F, original magnification: 40×, white arrows) and eosinophil (F, 40×, black arrow) TGF-β1 can be appreciated in IL-13 transgene (+) animals. In all cases, preincubation with TGF-β peptide abrogated TGF-β1 staining (B and D, original magnification: 20×).
