Clinical lung pathology in 6- and 8-week old βENaC-Tg mice. Paraffin embedded histological lung sections from βENaC-Tg (left) and wild-type (right) mice at 6 and 8 weeks were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Some of the hypereosinophilic areas exhibit crystal-like or needle-like arrangements (solid arrows) and are surrounded by a mixture of neutrophils (arrowheads) and macrophages (large cells with round or slightly indented nucleus and abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm; dashed arrows) in large numbers. Representative images shown of six similar results. Hematoxylin and eosin staining, 400x original magnification, scale bar = 20 μm
