Figure 3. Localization of basophils, eosinophils, and mast cells in the spleen, lung, and intestine after N brasiliensis infection. (A) Arrows indicate the localization of eosinophils (left panel; Siglec-F+IL-4/eGFP+B220−), basophils/mast cells (middle panel; IgE+IL-4/eGFP+B220−), and mast cells (right panel; c-Kit+B220−) in the spleen of 4get mice that had been infected with N brasiliensis 10 days before. T indicates T cell zone; B, B-cell follicle; and MZ, marginal zone. The dashed line indicates the marginal sinus. (B) Localization of eosinophils (left panel; MBP+ cells), basophils (middle panel; IgE+B220− cells), and lack of mast cells (right panel; c-Kit+ cells) in the lung of infected 4get mice. (C) Localization of eosinophils (left panel; MBP+ cells), basophils/mast cells (middle panel; IgE+B220− cells), and mast cells (right panel; c-Kit+ cells) in the jejunum of day-10 infected wild-type (WT), mast cell–deficient c-KitW-sh, and IL-4/IL-13–deficient mice. Arrows indicate goblet cell hyperplasia. Scale bars indicate 200 μm.
