Figure 3:
Evaluating salivary gland inflammation. Photomicrographs of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded, hematoxylin and eosin-stained mouse salivary glands showing normal ductal and acinar organization in SMG (A) and SLG (B). SMG showing a small, single lymphocytic focus (arrow) in the peri-vascular, peri-ductal region (C), and a larger lymphocytic focus invading the surrounding acinar tissues (arrows) (D). Extensive lymphocytic infiltration of the SMG (E), with lymphocytes invading the glandular parenchyma (F) showing remnants of acinar and ductal tissue (arrows). Objectives used for capturing the Images A-D (20x), E (10x) and F (40x). Scale bar = 50 microns.
