mRNA expression of surfactant protein A, determined with in situ hybridization on formaldehyde fixed paraffin sections of rat lungs during normal postnatal development at birth (A), day 3 (C), day 6 (E) day 10 (G) and 6 months (B) and after exposure to hyperoxia on day 3 (D), 6 (F) and 10 (H) at a 200-fold magnification. a = alveolus, ad = alveolar duct, br = bronchus, bv = blood vessel, s = saccule, tb = terminal bronchus.
