    Cross-sections (10 µm) of bovine longissimus dorsi muscle biopsy samples were stained with a primary antibody against laminin (ab7463, Rabbit, 1:100) to label the myofiber boundaries, together with a cocktail of mouse monoclonal antibodies against <t>MyHC</t> type I (BA-D5c, MIgG2b. 1:100), MyHC type IIA (SC-71c, <t>MIgG1,</t> 1:100), and MyHC type IIB (BF-F3c, MIgM, 1:100). Primary antibody staining was visualized using Alexa Fluor-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:500) including Goat Anti-Rabbit Alexa Fluor 350 (to detect laminin), Goat Anti-Mouse IgG1 Alexa Fluor 488 (to detect SC-71), Goat Anti-Mouse IgG2b Alexa Fluor 555 (to detect BA-D5), and Goat Anti-Mouse IgM Alexa Fluor 647 (to detect BF-F3). Laminin, BA-D5, SC-71, and BF-F3 staining were pseudo colored white, red, green, and blue respectively. Scale bars 100 µm.

    Ighmbp2 R604X/R604X mice showed changes in lung pathology and evidence of milk aspiration. Wild type (black), Ighmbp2 +/R604X (orange), and Ighmbp2 R604X/R604X (blue). Five mice for each genotype and three images per mouse were analyzed. (A) Thickening of the alveolar wall was scored 0–18 points. Each image/mouse was scored 0–6 with 0 = no thickening of alveolar wall (1 cell layer thick), 1–2 = mild thickening, 3–4 = moderate thickening of alveolar wall, 5 = extensive thickening of alveolar wall, 6 = complete thickening. Representative image of thickening of alveolar wall. Mean wild type = 3.2, Ighmbp2 +/R604X = 3.7, Ighmbp2 R604X/R604X = 8.8. +/+ and R604X/R604X, P = 0.0007; +/R604X and R604X/R604X, P = 0.0010, DF = 13 (F(DFn,DFd) F(2,13) = 15.7, P = 0.0003). (B) The presence of hyaline membrane (acellular deposits in the alveolar region) was scored 0–6 points. Each image/mouse was scored 0–2 with 0 = no acellular debris, 1 = partial build up of acellular debris, 2 = significant build up of acellular debris. Representative image of hyaline membrane. Mean wild type = 0.0, Ighmbp2 +/R604X = 0.5, Ighmbp2 R604X/R604X = 1.8. +/+ and R604X/R604X, P = 0.0091; +/R604X and R604X/R604X, P = 0.0460, DF = 13 (F(DFn,DFd) F(2,13) = 6.8, P = 0.0095). (C) Observed enhanced injury was scored 0–18 points. Each image/mouse was scored 0–6 with 0 = no damage, 1 = minimum damage, 2 = mild damage, 3 = moderate damage, 4 = pronounced damage, 5 = extensive damage, 6 = completely damaged. Representative image of enhanced injury in lung. Mean wild type = 2.0, Ighmbp2 +/R604X = 3.3, Ighmbp2 R604X/R604X = 11.2. +/+ and R604X/R604X, P < 0.0001; +/R604X and R604X/R604X, P < 0.0001, DF = 13 (F(DFn,DFd) F(2,13) = 38.8, P < 0.0001). (D) Atelectasis (complete or partial collapse of distal air spaces) was scored 0–12. Each image/mouse was scored 0–4 with 0 = no collapse, 1 = slight collapse, 2 = 50 % collapse, 3 = nearly full 75 % collapse, 4 = full collapse of distal air spaces. Representative image of atelectasis within the lung. Mean wild type = 1.2, Ighmbp2 +/R604X = 1.7, Ighmbp2 R604X/R604X = 5.2. +/+ and R604X/R604X, P = 0.0004, +/R604X and R604X/R604X, P = 0.0009, DF = 13 (F(DFn,DFd) F (2,13) = 16.8, P = 0.0003). (E) Representative images of lungs from wild type, Ighmbp2 +/R604X , and Ighmbp2 R604X/R604X mice lungs immunostained with antibodies against milk proteins (red-see white arrows). The presence of milk within an alveoli was scored based on the presence of anti-milk antibody staining. Five mice were scored per genotype with wild type (708 alveoli scored, 118+ alveoli/mouse), Ighmbp2 +/R604X (683 alveoli scored, 102+ alveoli/mouse), and Ighmbp2 R604X/R604X (593 alveoli scored, 91 + alveoli/mouse). Wild type (mean = 1.7 %), Ighmbp2 +/R604X (mean = 2.9 %), and Ighmbp2 R604X/R604X (12.1 %) (* P = 0.0134, ** P = 0.0064) (F(DFn,DFd) F(2,12) = 8.8, P = 0.0045). Statistical analyses: one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons. Values are expressed as mean. DF = degrees of freedom.

    Cross-sections (10 µm) of bovine longissimus dorsi muscle biopsy samples were stained with a primary antibody against laminin (ab7463, Rabbit, 1:100) to label the myofiber boundaries, together with a cocktail of mouse monoclonal antibodies against MyHC type I (BA-D5c, MIgG2b. 1:100), MyHC type IIA (SC-71c, MIgG1, 1:100), and MyHC type IIB (BF-F3c, MIgM, 1:100). Primary antibody staining was visualized using Alexa Fluor-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:500) including Goat Anti-Rabbit Alexa Fluor 350 (to detect laminin), Goat Anti-Mouse IgG1 Alexa Fluor 488 (to detect SC-71), Goat Anti-Mouse IgG2b Alexa Fluor 555 (to detect BA-D5), and Goat Anti-Mouse IgM Alexa Fluor 647 (to detect BF-F3). Laminin, BA-D5, SC-71, and BF-F3 staining were pseudo colored white, red, green, and blue respectively. Scale bars 100 µm.
