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

Figure 5

Distribution of the adhesion molecules CD44 (a) and CD29 (b) on PMNs migrating through the different compartments of the lung. In the different compartments of the lung (IV = intravascular; ADHERENT = adherent to the endothelium; IS = interstitial; BAL = bronchoalveolar lavage) were the numbers of PMNs assessed that express the particular adhesion molecules (frequency of parents). By using the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI), the total amount of molecules on each PMN was evaluated and one representative histogram is shown, whereas the red histogram resembles the negative control. Data are presented as mean ± SD; (a, b); ; ; as indicated.
