Figure 3. Neutrophil (PMN) and monocyte infiltration is reduced in the lung of PF4-/- mice after mesenteric IR injury.

Tissue sections of lung of B6 and PF4-/- mice after 30 minutes of mesenteric ischemia and 3 hrs of reperfusion and were stained for neutrophils (A-F, red) and monocytes (G-L, red) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). A total of 5–8 mice were used for each control and experimental groups in two experiments. (M) Neutrophil infiltration score, (N) Monocyte infiltration score. ns: not significant *p≤0.05 for IR compared to sham controls. Red: Positive Staining.
