Different phenotypes were observed among MHC-II+ cells including small lymphocyte-like round cells (arrows) and macrophage/dendritic-like cells (arrow heads). Some of these MHC-II+ cells appear as part of the endothelial layer of the blood vessels (asterisks). Counterstained with Mayer's haematoxylin. Scale bar represents 20 µm.
