Figure 3

Cross sections of ileum from mice exposed to vehicle control or UFP were stained with antibody F4/80 for macrophages and antibody against Ly6G for neutrophil. (A) Representative macrophage staining in the villi of ileum. (B) The averaged staining intensity of macrophages. (C) Representative neutrophil staining in the villi of ileum. (D) The averaged staining intensity of neutrophil. UFP ingestion significantly increased macrophage staining and exhibited a trend toward an increase in neutrophil stainnig (n = 7–11).
