Fibrosis and cellular infiltration were demonstrable in mice injected with exosomes isolated from LTxRs with RVI. Mice were killed on Day 30 and their lungs were collected and analyzed using hematoxylin and eosin and trichrome staining. (A) Interstitial and inflammatory infiltrates and fibrosis was more prominent in mice injected with exosomes from LTxRs with RVI compared with mice injected with exosomes from stable LTxRs. Images were obtained on a Leica microscope at × 40 and morphometric analysis was performed using Aperio ImageScope software (Leica). (B) The morphometric data are given for the representative images. LTxR, lung transplant recipient; RVI, respiratory viral infection.
