Figure 5

Histopathology of tongues from CD4C/HIVMutATg and non-Tg mice. Tg mice were treated (A1, A2) or not (B1, B2) with the combination of IL-17 and IL-22 on days 1, 3 and 5 after oral inoculation with C. albicans, and assessed on day 7. Control non-Tg mice were infected with C. albicans and untreated (C1, C2). Inflammatory cells are denoted by black arrows. Tissues were stained with hematoxylin phloxine saffron (HPS) or Gomori-Grocott methenamine silver. Images are representative of 6 mice per group with consistent results.
