FACScan analysis was performed on intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) and lamina propria lymphocytes (LPL) with antimouse TCR-αβ and TCR-γδ antibodies, to determine the subpopulation of these cells. Single colour flow cytometric analysis was performed for FACScan. The percentage of positive cells was calculated in comparison with a negative control consisting of cells stained with FITC conjugated antirat IgG alone. Six mice each of wild-type mice and MIP-2 transgenic mice were examined.
