Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end-labeling (TUNEL) staining of the pancreas. Positive cells were observed in the pancreatic duct cells of the nude mice that received CD4 spleen cells from nTx mice immunized with CA-II (a). There were no positive cells in the negative control (b). c, Nude mice that received CD4+ spleen cells from the nTx mice immunized with LF. Acinar cells were positively stained (arrow). Infiltrating lymphocytes around these acinar cells were also positively stained. d, Control mice. There were similar results in nTx mice immunized with CA-II or LF and nude mice that received whole spleen cells prepared from nTx mice immunized with CA-II or LF (data not shown). Original magnification, ×800.
