Neutrophil depletion preserves renal function in IRI mice. (A) Serum creatinine, and (B) urea nitrogen of WT mice injected with 1A8 or IgG, n = 5–6/group. (C) Histology of IRI kidney in the indicated treatments. HE staining (Row 1). ICAM-1 immunohistochemistry (Row 2). MPO immunohistochemistry (Row 3). Ly6G immunohistochemistry (Row 4). Scale bar = 200 μM. n = 5–6/group. The percentage of positive neutrophil staining in 10 non-overlapping fields was quantified using Image J software. (D) Score for histopathology of tubular damage after renal IRI using HE-stained renal tissue sections. (E) ICAM-1-positive area. (F) MPO-positive area. (G) Ly6G-positive area. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. Data are presented as mean ± SD.
