Figure 6From: Quantification of collagen and proteoglycan deposition in a murine model of airway remodellingThe effect of ovalbumin sensitisation/challenge on sub-epithelial total proteoglycans and decorin.(A) The area of sub-epithelial proteoglycan/unit lumen perimeter was quantitated using image analysis of Cupromeronic Blue stained sections. The numbers of mice/total airways analysed per group were: Control 9/32 and Ova/Ova 10/52. (B) The area of sub-epithelial decorin/unit lumen perimeter was quantitated using decorin immunostaining. The numbers of mice/total airways analysed per group were: Control 7/40 and Ova/Ova 10/70. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01.Back to article page
