Characterization of CD11c⁺ cells in mouse main bronchi.

<p>Mouse airways of the CD11c-EYFP reporter mouse (CD11c in yellow) or of the CX₃CR1^+/<i>gfp</i> transgenic mouse (CX₃CR1 in yellow) were stained as whole-mounts against MHC-II (red), F4/80 (red) or CD68 (red) as indicated. Airway epithelium stained with cytokeratin (Ck) is shown in grey. Left column shows merges of all acquired channels. Other columns show according single channel images. Image projections were generated with Imaris (Bitplane) from raw confocal <i>z</i>-stacks. Scale: 40 µm.
