In ovo synthetic resiquimod treatment increases the production of IL-1β from macrophages in lungs in vivo. SPF eggs were treated in ovo with resiquimod (n = 5) or PBS (n = 4) at ED18 and the eggs were incubated until hatch. At day 1 post-hatch, lungs were preserved in OCT, sectioned and double immunofluorescent assay was performed to identify the macrophages that produce IL-1β. The quantitative data from lung is shown along with representative immunoassayed images. Student’s t-test was performed to identify group differences and the differences were considered significant at P < 0.05
