Mucosal tissues from animal species were processed for immunohistology analysis, as described in Methods. Slides were stained with the following specific antibodies: anti-MHC-II, anti-CD163, anti-CD172a, anti-CD3, and anti-CD4 to detect and quantify positive cells in tissue sections or with toluidine blue to quantify mast cells (magnification x200). Representative photomicrographs of mucosal tissue sections are shown.
