FIG. 3.

Insulitis in normoglycemic wild-type and G6pc2-deficient NOD/ShiLtJ mice. Paraffin sections of pancreata removed from 25-week-old normoglycemic male animals were stained by immunoperoxidase methods for the presence of insulin (gray) and glucagon (brown). Varying degrees of peri-islet mononuclear cell infiltration were evident, as visualized by the methyl green counter stain. Representative images (scale bar = 50 μm) are shown in A, whereas insulitis scores from five wild-type and five NOD/ShiLtJ G6pc2−/− mice are shown in B, based on the examination of a total of 127 wild-type and 151 G6pc2−/− islets. KO, knockout; WT, wild-type. (A high-quality digital representation of this figure is available in the online issue.)
