Biochemical measurements in BAL fluid. Protein levels (A) and cell count (B) at day 1, 2 and 3 after elastase injection. IgM levels (C) measured by ELISA. Cytospin slides (D) and haemotoxilin-eosin stained histological slides from control mice (E1 at 200x magnification, F1 at 400x magnification) and elastase-treated mice at 2 days after elastase injection (E2 at 200x magnification, F2 at 400x magnification) and 5 days after elastase injection (E3 at 200x magnification, F3 at 400x magnification). Arrows indicate neutrophils, arrowheads indicate macrophages. Graphs represent an n=4 for each group. * = p<0.05.
