Abstract excerpt
Leukocytes in the peripheral lung parenchyma of mice have not been characterized histologically during bacterial infection. The aim of this study was to investigate (a) the immunohistological characteristics of healthy murine lungs and (b) the cell kinetics during acute inflammation. BALB/c and MF1 mice were examined; as well as transgenic mice with the gene defect of cystic fibrosis (CF) in the airways as an...
