Immunohistochemical analysis of PAD2 expression in murine lymphoid organs and kidneys. Mice were injected with PBS (vehicle) or NiNPs, S-NiNWs and L-NiNWs for 24 h and 2 weeks. LN and kidney tissue sections were stained with anti-PAD2 antibody. The histograms shown the percentage of positively stained cells for PAD2 expression in LN (a), spleen (b), and kidney tissue sections (c) p-values of <0.0001 are indicated by ***. Statistical analysis between the different experimental groups is reported in Table S2.
