Figure 3. PMN immunostaining of Ureaplasma-infected lungs.

Figure 3

Lung sections from PBS and Ureaplasma-inoculated WT and SP-A−/− mice were immunostained with biotinylated rat anti-mouse Gr-1 antibody and counterstained with hematoxylin. (A to F) Representative immunostained sections of lungs 6h (A–D) and 24h (E–F) post-inoculation. SP-A−/− mice demonstrated extensive focal PMN infiltrates in interstitium and peribronchi (arrows indicate immunoreactive PMN). Original magnification 400×, scale 100 µm. Abbreviations: PMN: polymorphonuclear cells KO, SP-A−/− knockout; UU, Ureaplasma-inoculated.
