Migration of labeled donor cells into alveolar air space. In pneumonia lungs, the ratio of cells that migrated into alveolar air space was measured. The results are shown as the percentage of donor cells that migrated into air space out of the total number of donor cells sequestered in pneumonia lung. In the whole BM cell transfusion model (A), a significantly higher number of donor cells migrated into the air space of pneumonia lungs at 24 hours post-transfusion as compared to 2 hours (18.7 ± 3.7% vs. 2.2 ± 1.2%, P = 0.001). In the Lin- progenitor cell transfusion model (B), no significant difference was observed between the 2 and 24 hour timepoints (1.7 ± 1.1% vs. 3.1 ± 4.3%, P = 0.60). Data is shown as mean ± SE; n = 7. **P < 0.01.
