Fig. 2. Expression of dendritic cell markers within the thyroid. Thyroid tissues
from normal healthy mice have many widely dispersed CD11b+ cells in
areas near thyroid epithelial cells and follicles, but lack cells expressing
F4/80, CD40, CD80, CD19, CD3, CD8
and Ly-6G. Tissues are from the same
animal, but are typical of the results from two mice.
