Figure 3.

Reciprocal relationship between versican and elastin binding protein. Low power images of lung sections from a control patient (a,c) and a COPD patient (b,d) immunostained (using DAB chromogen) for versican and EBP. For each patient the images were taken from the same regions. Staining patterns show the reciprocal relationship between versican and EBP and the COPD lung shows the typical emphysematous structure. Scale bars = 400 μm
