Figure 3

LPS-induced degranulation of mast cells. (a) Control group ( ); (b) Model group ( ). The mast cells with or without degranulation are indicated with red or blue arrows, respectively. Double-labeled immunofluorescence microscopy showing MCP-1 interactions with mast cells in bladder tissues. (c) Control group ( ); (d) Model group ( ). Nuclei are colored blue by DAPI; green fluorescence indicates MCP-1 protein immunostaining; red fluorescence indicates MC immunostaining. Scale bars in the immunofluorescence images represent 20 μm.
