From: Azithromycin reduces spontaneous and induced inflammation in ΔF508 cystic fibrosis mice
Cell composition of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and tissue markers of lung inflammation from CF and wild-type (WT) mice under baseline conditions. (A) alveolar macrophages and neutrophil cell counts in BALF; (B) myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in lung homogenates, expressed as optical density (OD) × 10-3/second; (C) lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in BALF, expressed as U/L. Values are means ± SEM for 6–9 animals per group. *p < 0.05; †p < 0.01 for comparison of corresponding mean value vs. that obtained for the same parameter in the wild-type group of mice.
