The localization of lysozyme and sPLA2 in the tracheal mucosa. In epithelium, lysozyme and sPLA2 are immunonegative in cytoplasm of NC (arrows in a and b), GC (large arrowheads in a and b), but a solitary NC immunopositive for lysozyme and sPLA2 is visible (arrows in c and d). Lysozyme and sPLA2 are immunopositive in cilia or microvilli, but are negative in cytoplasm of ciliated epithelial cells (small arrowhead in b and arrow in e) and microvillous cells (large arrowheads in e and f) and basal epithelial cells (asterisks in e and f). In tracheal glands, lysozyme and sPLA2 are immunopositive in serous acinar cells (arrows in g and h), epithelial cells of glandular ducts (arrows in i and j) and luminal contents in glandular ducts (arrowheads in i and j). Bar=10 µm.
