Modeling Innate Immune Response to Early Mycobacterium Infection

Figure 1

Microscope image of a zebrafish larva infected with Mycobacterium marinum by injection used for the study on infection progression and immune system response. Image is obtained with a Leica stereo fluorescence microscope commonly used in zebrafish research. Here the microscope image is depicted with an overlay of a fluorescent channel (red) in which the bacteria are visualized. The arrows indicate granulomas that have been developed after an induced infection with Mycobacterium marinum.
