Fig. 4From: Lung Inflammation in alpha-1-antitrypsin deficient individuals with normal lung functionLarge airway inflammatory cells in normal and alpha1- antitrypsin deficient Individuals. A Bronchial biopsies from normal and alpha1- antitrypsin deficient individuals were incubated with primary antibodies against CD68, CD45, CD8, neutrophil elastase (NE), and AA1; HRP-conjugated secondary antibody and HRP-DAB developer as described in the methods. B The cells were counted and expressed as the number of cells per mm2 of basement membrane in the section. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.005Back to article page
