Figure 5. TP3 regulates the accumulation of erythrocytes and platelets in infected wounds.
A skin region of about 1 square centimeter was removed from the abdomen of non-anaesthetized mice, and the wound was infected with 50 μl of broth mix containing 106 CFU of MRSA alone, or together with methicillin, vancomycin, or TP3. Skin samples from the injured area were fixed and subjected to Giemsa staining at 0, 5, and 19 days post-treatment. Arrows indicate accumulation of immune cells. Magnification, x100. The length and height of the photomicrographs are 100 μm.
