From: Tobacco exposure inhibits SPLUNC1-dependent antimicrobial activity
SPLUNC1 protein levels are similar in smokers’ and never-smokers’ sputum. Representative Western blots showing endogenous expression of SPLUNC1 (a) and neutrophil elastase (c) in never smoker and smokers sputum from n = 6 donors per group. Membranes were probed for SPLUNC1 prior to stripping and re-probing for neutrophil elastase. Bar graphs showing mean densitometry of SPLUNC1 (b) and neutrophil elastase (d) protein abundance in never smokers and smokers sputum
