Figure 3 Peritoneal mast cells stimulated with Mycobacterium marinum degranulate. Heat-killed (A) and untreated (B) Mycobacterium marinum (M. marinum) positive for Kinyoun’s acid fast stain, while peritoneal mast cells from mice injected with heat-killed M. marinum were negative (C). Metachromatic granules of peritoneal mast cells are stained with toluidine blue from unstimulated mice (D, E) and mice injected with heat-killed M. marinum (F, G). An exemplary image of each experimental mouse is shown (Olympus CH2, × 100 oil immersion, captured using iPhone 4S).
