Macroscopic signs of arthritis were paralleled by overt histological inflammation. (A,D) Representative images of an unaffected and an affected (Score = 15) hind paw. (B,C) HE-stained thin-sections of the unaffected paw at 12.5x and 200x magnifications, respectively. (E,F) HE-stained thin-sections of the affected paw at 12.5x and 200x magnifications, showing massive leukocyte infiltration and cartilage destruction. Boxed areas in B and E denote the areas of magnification shown in C and F.
