Different types of TB lung lesions in the C3HeB/FeJ mice. Three types of histopathologic TB lesions are seen in the C3HeB/FeJ mice. (A) Type 1 lesion is mainly comprised of foamy macrophages, few epithelioid macrophages and lymphocytes, and a caseous center surrounded by neutrophils. This lesion most resembles to that seen in human TB. (B) Type 2 lesion is the most severe form and is characterized by a neutrophilic, necrotizing alveolitis with occlusion of the terminal bronchioles and caseous necrosis. (C) Type 3 lesion is comprised mainly of infiltration of epithelioid macrophages and lymphocytes, smaller numbers of foamy and activated macrophages and neutrophils around the airway and blood vessel pair. This is the typical lesion seen in most other mouse strains. TB, tuberculosis.
