Morphologies of peritoneal lavage cells (PLCs) from mice infected intraperitoneally with E. coli. ICR mice were infected intraperitoneally with 3 doses of E. coli or received saline and then sacrificed at 18, 48, and 72 hours, respectively, for harvesting their PLCs. The PLCs were stained with H&E dye followed by taking photos and counting cell numbers under a microscope. (a) Photos of PLCs from killed mice. (b) The cell counts based on the PLC morphologies. (c) Photos of PLCs from dying mice. Each group is composed of 6 mice.
