Invariant NKT Cell Lines Derived from the NOD·H2h4 Mouse Enhance Autoimmune Thyroiditis
Figure 1
A representative figure of thyroid gland histology from a control mouse and a adaptively transferred with NKT cell line 1F1.1 is shown after hematoxylin and eosin (H & E) staining. (a) Normal thyroid histology showing follicles surrounded with thyrocytes. (b) Section from thyroid gland after 14 days after adoptive transfer of iNKT cells line 1F1.1. Cellular infiltration and disruption of normal thyroid histology was observed. The thyroid histology was assessed as a 5-point score as described in Table 1.
