Caption

T cell-specific deletion of Tgfb1 results in increased organ inflammation and Th1-effector cytokine production. a-f: Hematoxylin and eosin staining of serial sections of lung (a-c) and salivary gland (d-f) from 5-month-old control (a,d), Tgfb1^tm2.1Doe/Tgfb1^tm2.1Doe Tg(Lck-cre)548Jxm/? (flox-ex 6/flox-ex 6, Tg) (b,e) and Tgfb1^tm1Doe/Tgfb1^tm2.1Doe Tg(Lck-cre)548Jxm/? (flox-ex 6/-, Tg) (c,f) mice. These histopathology data are representative results of at least three mice per genotype analyzed. All photomicrographs are taken at equal magnification. Tgfb1^tm2.1Doe/Tgfb1^tm2.1Doe Tg(Lck-cre)548Jxm/? (flox-ex 6/flox-ex 6, Tg) mice exhibit moderate inflammation in both the lungs (arrows in b) and the salivary gland (arrows in e) which becomes severe in both organs (arrows in c,f) in Tgfb1^tm1Doe/Tgfb1^tm2.1Doe Tg(Lck-cre)548Jxm/? (flox-ex 6/-, Tg) mice.
