Figure Lengend Snippet: Histochemistry and Immunohistochemistry examination of rabbits’ lungs on 13-day post-inoculation to the Aspergillus fumigatus strain ATCC 13073. ( A ) Negative control group (1) The arrow shows fungal structure, GMS staining (2) Extensive expression of CD68. (3) Remarkable expression of CD163. (4) Extensive expression of MPO. ( B ) Positive control group (1) The arrow shows fungal structure, GMS staining (2) Low expression of CD68. (3) Insignificant expression of CD163. (4) Mild expression of MPO. ( C ) Clove essential oil at 20 mg/kg (1) The arrow shows fungal structure, GMS staining. (2) Low expression of CD68. (3) Insignificant expression of CD163. (4) Mild expression of MPO. ( D ) Clove essential oil at 10 mg/kg (1) The arrow shows fungal structure, GMS staining (2) Significant expression of CD68. (3) Moderate expression of CD163. (4) Relatively notable expression of MPO.
