Additional file 1: of Evaluation of 99mTc-rhAnnexin V-128 SPECT/CT as a diagnostic tool for early stages of interstitial lung disease associated with systemic sclerosis

Semi-quantification of the number of leucocytes, epithelial cells, myofibroblasts and endothelial cells undergoing apoptosis in the model of BLM-induced lung fibrosis. Co-staining with specific cell markers identified the apoptotic cells (cleaved caspase 3+) as EPC (E-cadherin) and leucocytes (CD45+). Data are expressed as mean ± SD, n = 3 (each). (TIF 422 kb
