Figure 8From: Is neutrophil elastase the missing link between emphysema and fibrosis? Evidence from two mouse modelsHistological appearance of C57BI/6lung receiving 4-(2-aminoethyl)-benzenesulfonyl fluoride hydrochloride 21 days after bleomycin challenge. Representative histological section of a C57BI/6 mouse, receiving 4-(2-aminoethyl)-benzenesulfonyl fluoride hydrochloride and bleomycin, at 14 days after the treatment. No appreciable areas of emphysema are detectable in the lung parenchyma (A). Few trivial foci of fibrosis can be appreciated in some areas (B). (B) shows a higher magnification of (A). (A) and (B): Masson's trichrome stain, scale bars represent 400 μm and 50 μm, respectively.Back to article page
