Figure 1

A) Time course experiment showing the number of apoptotic neutrophils per kilogram body weight (BW) in BALF 15 or 30 minutes after intratracheal instillation of apoptotic neutrophils (+) or an equivalent volume of saline (-). B) The number of apoptotic neutrophils per kilogram body weight in BALF 15 minutes after administering 106 apoptotic neutrophils and subsequently instilling poractant alfa or an equivalent volume of saline. Results (n = 11 animals per group) are shown as mean ± SEM. Significant differences (p < 0.05) are marked by *.
