SSW smoke exposure favors a Th1 immune response in human apoB100 Transgenic mice. Tissue sections of the spleen were labeled with rat anti-mouse CD4+, IL-4, and IFNγ antibodies, and detected by FITC-labeled goat anti-rat IgG. (A-F) Immunolabeling showing the peripheral lymphocytes in spleen expressing CD4+ (A, B), IL-4 (C, D), and IFNγ (E, F) in hApoB100 transgenic mice that were exposed to normal air (A, C, E) or SSW smoke (B, D, F).
