Mucosal inflammation is visualized in bladder sections from Asc-/- mice, infected with uropathogenic E. coli. Infection triggered a massive recruitment of neutrophils (red) to the mucosa. In susceptible mice, large numbers of bacteria were detected in the mucosa (green) and were shown to colocalize with neutrophil aggregates in micro-abscesses (yellow). Frozen tissue sections were stained for immunohistochemistry with specific antibodies to neutrophils and E. coli. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (cyan). Ambite et al.
