The arrows indicate a capillary filled with erythrocytes. The arrowheads indicate macrophages loaded with PMs-PEG (cells with granulated cytoplasm) migrating along the outer walls of blood capillaries in the lymphatic ducts. (B,C,D) Macrophages engulfing PMs-PEG. Note intact microcapsules (arrows) in the cytoplasm of phagocytes. The nuclei of the cells are marked with arrowheads. Fluorescence image (D) shows dye localization inside of intact microcapsules in the macrophage cytoplasm.

The asterisks indicate the scale pockets; the arrowhead indicates the backbone. (B) Fluorescence image scaled from A shows accumulation of macrophages loaded with PMs-PEG at the base of the dorsal fin. The arrow indicates the epidermis that covers the scales. Fluorescent images of PMs-PEG are obtained in green channel. (C) Fluorescence image of clusters of phagocytes loaded with PMs-PEG migrating from the muscle tissue toward the fish skin. The asterisks indicate the scale pockets; arrowheads indicate the epidermis; red arrows indicate the scale plates. (D) Figure scaled from C showing basophilic coloration around bone (arrowhead) indicating leucocyte infiltration and inflammation process, H&E stain. (E) Figure scaled from C shows loaded phagocyte (arrow) in the epidermis of scale, recognized by the granulated cytoplasm, H&E stain.
