Figure Lengend Snippet: Immunosuppressed, Pc-infected mice were treated with vehicle control 8% DMSO, ATRA, or TMP-SMX for 3, 4, and 5 weeks as indicated in the figure. Treatment was initiated 3 weeks after Pc inoculation. ( A ) Giemsa-stained BAL cells cytospun on slides. Red arrows indicate MDSC-like cells, and blue arrows denote alveolar macrophages. ( B ) Representative flow cytograms of BAL cells from mice in each group at each time point. The percentage of Gr-1 + /CD11b + cells in each sample is shown in the right upper quadrant of each flow cytogram. ( C ) Percentage of Gr-1 + /CD11b + cells in BALF, as determined by flow cytometry. Data are means ± S. D. of 3–6 mice in each group at each time point. (D) Histologic sections of the lungs stained with GMS (left) and H&E (right). Red arrows indicate GMS-stained Pc organisms. Images are representative of 3–6 mice in each group at each time point. Microscope magnification: 40X.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Immunosuppressed, Pc-infected mice were treated with ATRA-PMQ or TMP-SMX for 2 weeks and then examined for the presence of Pc at 3 weeks after initiation of treatment and at 3 weeks after cessation of the three-week treatment. Lung tissues were subjected to Pc mitochondrial rRNA PCR, and the PCR products were electrophoresed on a 1% agarose gel.
