image: This shows the localization of ILCs and further assessment of immune cells in human lung. Immune cells were assessed in the distal lung using immunofluorescent staining. Panel A shows cells staining positive for ckit (green) or both ckit and CD161 (yellow). Light microscopy images taken with 20X objective. In panel B, cells were present that stain positive for ckit (green) or both ckit and tryptase (green and white). Confocal images taken with 60X objective. Inset images provide higher power views of the cells, and correspond numerically with the lower power images. Br, bronchioles.This image relates to a paper that appeared in the Feb. 27, 2013, issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by Dr. C. Barnig at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Mass., and colleagues was titled, “Lipoxin A4 Regulates Natural Killer Cell and Type 2 Innate Lymphoid Cell Activation in Asthma.” view more
