Figure 1

Lung sections stained for elastin, versican and elastin binding protein. Control (upper panels) and COPD (lower panels) lung sections stained for elastin (a,b)(x250), versican (c,d) (x100) and elastin binding protein (EBP) (e,f) (x100). Arrow heads indicate elastin and the boxes in a and b indicate alveolar rim regions. Staining patterns demonstrate the reciprocal relationships between versican and elastin and EBP. Inserts show segments of alveolar wall (× 500). Staining intensity values are 1 for c and f and 5 for d and e.
