Figure Lengend Snippet: Progressive sialadenitis in the IL-14αTG mouse model of Sjögren's disease. (A) Submandibular and sublingual glands from 6- and a 12-month-old female IL-14αTG and C57BL/6 mice were subjected to hematoxylin and eosin staining to assess glandular inflammation; scale bar = 1 mm. (B) Immune cell focus surrounding blood vessels and excretory ducts in a 12-month-old IL-14αTG mouse SMG; scale bar = 100 µm. (C) Twelve-month-old and (D) 18-month-old female IL-14αTG mouse SMG and SLG cryosections were subjected to immunofluorescence staining using antibodies against aquaporin 5 (AQP5) acinar cell marker, CD45 pan-immune cell marker, B220 B cell marker, CD3 T cell marker, CD169 macrophage marker, CD11c dendritic cell marker or GL7 germinal center marker with DAPI nuclear counterstain; scale bars = 1 mm and 100 µm (inset).
Article Snippet: Slides were then washed in PBS and coverslips mounted using Fluoroshield with DAPI (MilliporeSigma).
Techniques: Staining, Immunofluorescence, Marker
