Lymphocyte infiltration in placentomes from N. caninum -inoculated dams in early, mid and late gestation. (A) Large area of infiltration of CD3+ cells in the placentome of a dam carrying a non-viable foetus in early gestation. (B) Moderate infiltration of CD3+ cells in the maternal caruncle stalk of the placentome of a dam in mid gestation. (C) Mild infiltration of CD3+ cells in the maternal caruncle of a dam in late gestation. (D) Severe infiltration of CD4+ cells in the placentome of a dam carrying a non-viable foetus in early gestation. (E) Severe infiltration of CD4+ cells in caruncle surrounding a large area of necrosis (n) in the placentome of a dam in mid gestation. (F) Mild infiltration of CD4+ cells in the caruncle surrounding necrotic foetal villi (n) in the placentome of a dam in late gestation. (G) Mild infiltration of CD8+ cells in the maternal caruncle of a dam carrying a non-viable foetus in early gestation. (H) Mild infiltration of CD8+ cells in the maternal caruncle of a dam in mid gestation. (I) Rare CD8+ cells infiltrating the maternal caruncle surrounding areas of mineralization (m), in a dam in late gestation. (J) Moderate infiltration of γδTCR+ cells surrounding a blood vessel (v) in the maternal caruncle of a dam carrying a non-viable foetus in early gestation. (K) Mild infiltration of γδTCR+ cells in the maternal caruncle of a dam in mid gestation. (L) Mild γδTCR+ cells infiltrating the maternal caruncle in a dam in late gestation. Counterstained with haematoxylin.
