Fig. 2

Representative images of immunohistochemical labeled CD45+ cells in the left ventricle + septum (LV + S; a–c) and right ventricle (RV; d–f) from postconceptional aged-matched fetal lambs (fetal control, n = 7) and preterm lambs exposed antenatally to saline (preterm SAL, n = 9) or LPS (preterm LPS, n = 9). Scale bar = 100 μm. Graphs show immune cell infiltration of the LV + S (g) and RV (h) in each experimental group (gray circles = fetal control; blue squares = preterm SAL; orange triangles = preterm LPS). Statistical analyses were performed using a one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post hoc test. Data are presented as mean ± SD, ** denotes p < 0.01, *** denotes p < 0.001.
