Figure 6

Effect of chronic (24 weeks) cigarette smoke (CS) exposure and PTX3 deficiency on the cell subsets in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid. (A) Total cell numbers and numbers of (B) neutrophils, (C) macrophages, (D) dendritic cells, (E) CD4+ and (F) CD8+ T-lymphocytes in WT and Ptx3 KO mice upon 24 weeks exposure to air or CS. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM (N = 10 animals/group; *** p < 0.001). All cell types were enumerated by flow cytometry, except for the neutrophils which were determined by cytospin counts.
