Moribund elf3^−/− adults develop aerocystitis. (A) Representative images of granulomas that can develop in moribund elf3^−/− adults in the liver and coelomic cavity. For each example granuloma, there is a hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained image, an acid-fast-stained image, and a Gram-stained image to assess the overall morphology of the granuloma as well as to test for the presence of Mycobacterium. (B, C) Representative images of the coelomic cavity of healthy appearing, wild-type controls (B) and moribund mutant (C) adults (histopathological evaluation of 12 moribund mutants and 12 wild-type controls). The two inset images featured below are magnified images of the swim bladder that highlight the inflammation observed in the anterior and posterior chambers of the moribund elf3 mutant. Scanned images were rotated or vertically reflected for consistent body orientation across all images.
