A–C Immunohistochemistry with anti-elastin antibody. Results depict elastin preserved in ELN-PGG-NPs group lungs while it can be seen eroded in the untreated group. D–F Luna staining for lung sections showing preservation of elastin fibers along the alveolar walls (purple fibers) with ELN-PGG NPs treatment. Sections in boxes are enlarged for clarity. Scale bar- 50 microns
