Nitrotyrosine expression and localization in representative sections of negative control, control, COPD and IPF lungs. Positive nitrotyrosine expression is seen mainly in the epithelial cells and inflammatory cells in both diseases but not in the fibrotic lesions or fibroblast foci in the IPF lung. There is some nitrotyrosine positivity also in the control (ex-smoker) lung. For patient characteristics see Table 3.
