Histopathology of the pancreas in the lactoferrin (LF) experiment. In the pancreas of nTx mice immunized with LF, there was moderate inflammatory cell infiltration in pancreatic acini around the duct (a). In the cell transfer experiment, all five nude mice that received whole spleen cells or CD4+ cells prepared from nTx mice immunized with LF had inflammation in the periductal area (b and c). In contrast, there was no inflammation observed in any of the nude mice that received CD8+ cells (d). Original magnification, ×200 (a–d).
