Mucin-Related Molecular Responses of Bronchial Epithelial Cells in Rats Infected with the Nematode Nippostrongylus brasiliensis
Figure 3
Alcian blue (AB) staining on the bronchial epithelial mucus in BN rat after N. brasiliensis infection. The majority of goblet cells were stained with AB after infection (arrow). Tracheal cartilages are admitted in the figure (arrowhead): (a) noninfected control; (b) 3 days after infection; (c) 7 days after infection; (d) 10 days after infection; (e) 10 days after infection, pretreated with neuraminidase.
