Lack of the Asc gene alters leukocyte recruitment to the ME. (A) Area of the ME lumen occupied by inflammatory cells was used to quantify leukocyte infiltration of the ME cavity (n = 6 ears). The accumulation of ME leukocytes was delayed in Asc−/− mice. The ME infiltrate was examined at 400 × to identify the neutrophils and macrophages. The recruitment of neutrophils (B) was also delayed, and the number of macrophages (C) was significantly decreased in Asc−/− mice. HPF: high-power field. *Significantly different from WT mice (P < 0.05), n = 6 ears.
