How Adhesion Molecule Patterns Change While Neutrophils Traffic through the Lung during Inflammation

Figure 3

Impact of inflammation on the expression of CD31 (a), CD54 (b), and CD162 (c) on PMNs in the different compartments of the lung. All mice inhaled LPS and the fraction of PMNs which express the particular adhesion molecule on their surface was determined (% of frequency of parents) in the different compartments of the lung (IV = intravascular; ADHERENT = adherent to the endothelium; IS = interstitial; BAL = bronchoalveolar lavage). Additionally, the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) was analyzed for the PMNs in each compartment and one representative histogram is shown, whereas the red histogram resembles the negative control. Data are presented as mean ± SD; (a–c); ; ; as indicated.
