Characteristics of Tubular Myelin Ultrastructure and Labelling Density of Surfactant Protein A (SP-A)
| Parameter | Control | EuroCollins | Celsior |
| Mesh width of tubular myelin [nm] | 30.6 ± 3.3 | 43.8 ± 1.3* | 32.7 ± 4.0 |
| Number of gold particles (SP-A) on tubular myelin1 [μm-1] | 11.1 ± 1.5 | 31.9 ± 3.5* | 35.9 ± 0.2* |
| Number of gold particles (SP-A) on AEC II cytoplasm2 [μm-2] | 4.2 ± 0.4 | 3.1 ± 0.3# | 2.9 ± 0.2# |
means ± SEM of n = 3 per group; *p < 0.05 and #0.05 < p < 0.1 versus control
1 gold particle counts are referred to the length of the phospholipid layer cross sections composing the tubular myelin lattices
2 gold particle counts are referred to the sectioned area of AEC II
