Histopathological Analysis of Salmonella Chronic Carriage in the Mouse Hepatopancreatobiliary System
Figure 2
Salmonella LPS staining was frequently detected in the gallbladder of infected mice regardless of the presence of gallstones.
Representative IHC images of mouse gallbladder tissue at 6 and 12 months post-infection using an anti-Salmonella LPS antibody. Such bacterial staining occurs at time points in which no CFU were detected from the gallbladder of cage mates. Black arrows show Salmonella LPS staining in the muscularis (Panel C and D), in the epithelium (Panel E) or in the lumen (Panel F). DAB and hematoxylin counterstain. 40x.
