Left panels: thymus staining in nondexamethasone-treated mice for TUNEL (green) (A), cleaved caspase 3 (green) (C), and ssDNA (red) (E). Right panels: thymus staining in dexamethasone-treated mice showing significantly more positive staining for TUNEL (B), cleaved caspase 3 (D), and ssDNA (F). Rare positive ssDNA (red) staining is shown in heart from a mouse with MI in a lymphocyte (G) and in four cardiomyocytes (arrows) (H). Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Yellow color is attributable to autofluorescence of tissue. Original views: ×40 (A, B, E, F); ×63 (C, D, G, H).
