LYVE-1+ macrophages colonized in the dental papilla during embryonic tooth development. (A) Immunoperoxidase staining of LYVE-1 at embryonic days (E) 12, 15, and 18 in mouse embryo sections. Arrows: LYVE-1+ macrophages. (B) Double immunofluorescence staining of LYVE-1 (green) and pan-macrophage marker CD68 (red) at E18 in mouse embryo sections. (1) and (2) show high magnification of LYVE-1+CD68+ macrophages and LYVE-1CD68+ macrophages, respectively. (C) Double immunofluorescence staining of LYVE-1 (green) and M2 macrophage marker CD163 (red) at E18 in mouse embryo sections. (1) and (2) show high magnification of LYVE-1+CD163+ macrophages and LYVE-1CD68+ macrophages, respectively. (D) Double immunofluorescence staining of LYVE-1 (green) and antigen-presenting cell marker MHC-II (red) at E18 in mouse embryo sections. (1) and (2) show high magnification of LYVE-1+MHC macrophages and LYVE-1CDMHC+ macrophages, respectively. Images are representative of at least 3–4 different samples for each condition examined.
