Apoptosis analysis in the lungs of H1N1pdm09-infected mice by Gal-1 treatment. (A) Staining of lung sections with TUNEL to detect the apoptotic cells in the lungs collected at 6 d.p.i. (n = 3, original magnification, ×200, scale bar = 100 μm; green, TUNEL; blue, DAPI counterstaining of cell nuclei.). (B) TUNEL-positive cells in mouse lungs were quantified by averaging the number of positive stained cells in six randomly selected fields in each section (n = 3). (C) Apoptotic nuclear morphology observed by transmission electron microscopy (n = 4, original magnification, left panel: ×1750, scale bar = 5 μm; right panel: ×5900, scale bar = 1 μm; yellow arrow head: chromatin-condensed cells; red arrow head: condensed chromatin). Representative data shown from at least two independent experiments. P-values are indicated in the panels. DAPI, 2-(4-amidinophenyl)-6-indolecarbamidine dihydrochloride.
