Overexpression of p80 accelerates allograft dysfunction. In (A–D), wild-type C57BL/6J (C), Clara cell secretory protein (CCSP)–p40 transgenic C57BL/6J (Tg-p40 C), or IL-12 p35−/− C57 (p35−/− C) donor tracheas underwent transplantation into wild-type BALB/cJ (B) or BALB/cJ (Rβ1−/− B) mice. At 14 or 28 d post-transplantation, grafts underwent H&E staining (A), quantification of the percentage of denuded basement membrane (B), immune cell accumulation (C), and hydroxyproline (D) as described in Figure 1. Values represent means ± SEM (n = 4 or 5). *p < 0.05 compared with C → B.
