Figure 4

Representative section of the VP of 18-week-old DBA2J (WT; (a)), DBA2J.Ins2-Akita (diabetic; (b), (d)), or DBA2J.Ins2-Akita with severe inflammation (diabetic; (c), (e)) stained for CD45 and vimentin. Quantification results of fibrocyte infiltration in the AP, DLP (image not shown), and VP ((f), white circles = WT, white squares = Akita, and black squares = Akita with severe inflammation). * value <0.05. Arrow denotes CD45+/vimentin+ fibrocytes.
