Mice used for dermis samples were 2 days old; those for kidney samples, 2 months old; those for bladder samples, 3 months old; tendon, 2 days old; and MMM, 6 weeks old. The antibody for all samples except MMM was F4/80; for MMM, it was MOMA-1.

Data (mean ± SD) are taken from 12 low-power fields of tissues from 2 mice of each genotype. Data are mean ± SD.

MMM indicates marginal metallophyllic macrophages; +, the degree of correction of MMM density in spleen and F4/80+ cell density in tendons of different transgenic lines in comparison with the wt; −, no correction.
