Figure 1

Use of the CSF1R-EGFP and CX3CR1GFP reporter mice to identify mouse macrophages in normal tissues. A-E: Representative images show identification of CSF1R+ cells (arrows) in the liver (A), splenic red pulp (B), pulmonary parenchyma (C), kidney (D) and heart (E) of young adult CSF1R-EGFP mice. (F–J) Immunofluorescent staining of sections from CX3CR1GFP reporter mice. Hepatic macrophages are not labeled for CX3CR1 (F). CX3CR1+ cells are identified in the white pulp of the spleen (G) and in the lung (H). Sparse populations of CX3CR1+ cells are found in the kidney (I) and in the heart (J). Scale bar: 20 μm.
