Histological analysis of lung sections. (A) A total lung inflammation score was determined for two mice in each group (four lung sections per mouse) and graded on a scale of 0+ (normal) to 5+ (severe). Lung sections of wild-type infected (white bars) or CCL3−/− inoculated mice (light gray bars) were analyzed on days 1, 2, and 4 p.i. (B) H&E-stained images showing histological features in the lungs of wild-type (WT) and CCL3−/− infected mice at days 1, 2, and 4 p.i. Bars, 100 μm. IP, interstitial pneumonia (m, mild); PE, perivascular edema; V, vasculitis; B, bronchiolitis.
