Lung inflammation in ALI mice.

<p>A. H&E stained SHAM lungs at day 3 reveal normal lung alveolar architecture at low and high (inset) magnification. B. ALI lungs demonstrate “hepatization” of the lung, with alveolar consolidation, interstitial thickening and hemmorrhage. The degree of lung injury is quantified with BAL (C) total cell counts and (D) total protein which are increased in the lung of the ALI compared to SHAM mice. *p = 0.0003, **p = 0.008; n = 6/group.
