Figure 4. Histology and immunohistochemistry of HYPR-Ad-mIL4–treated tumors. LN229 tumors were intratumorally treated with PBS (A), HYPR-Ad-mIL4 (B),or dl309-Ad (C) as described in the legend of Fig. 3. Fifteen days from the start of treatment, animals were injected with pimonidazole hydrochloride (a 2-nitroimidazolehypoxia marker) and sacrificed, and the tumors were harvested. Deparaffinized tumor sections were stained with H&E for tumor histology and detection of infiltratingPMN leukocytes and with Masson's trichrome to detect collagen (blue). Immunostaining was done for Ad hexon protein, pimonidazole (hypoxia) adduct, andCD45 leukocyte common antigen, a pan-lymphocyte marker. Magnifications: A, C, and D, 50x; B, 100x; and E, 400x. Representative sections are shown.
