Fig. 2.
Appearance of F4/80-positive cells in fetal and neonatal liver. Tissues were stained for F4/80, a macrophage-specific marker, as described in the Materials and Methods and positive cells were quantified. Results are expressed as the mean ± SEM for+/csfmop (•) andcsfmop/csfmop (▴) offspring after matings of (A) +/csfmop female ×csfmop/csfmop male and (B)csfmop/csfmop female ×+/csfmop male mice, respectively. Where indicated,+/csfmop differed fromcsfmop/csfmop at *P < .001. Results of multiple comparisons over time, where indicated, showedaP < .01 and bP < .001 versus day13; cP < .05, dP< .025, eP < .01, and fP< .001 versus day 14; gP < .01 andhP < .001 versus day 15; iP< .005 and jP < .001 versus day 18; and kP < .005 and lP < .001 versus postnatal day 1, respectively.
