Neutrophil infiltration was more abundant in heterozygous NU/J animals than in homozygous animals. Neutrophils were detected at infected vaginal tissues in both immunocompetent NU/J heterozygous and immunocompromised homozygous NU/J mice by immunohistochemistry using anti-mouse LY6.B2 (MCA771GT, Bio-Rad). Interestingly, more neutrophil infiltration was detected in the heterozygous mice (A, 20×, in red) when compared to that in the homozygous mice as determined by staining (B, 20×, in red)
