Table 1. Cell infiltration and alveolar change of the mice lungs in each group at day 3, 7, 28 and 56.
Groups | 3 day after instillation | 7 day after instillation | 28 day after instillation | 56 day after instillation |
saline control | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Silica | I | I+∼II | I∼I+ | 0∼I |
Silica+antiCD25mAb | I+∼II | II+∼III+ | I+∼II | 0∼I |
The degree of inflammation was assessed by the histological analysis of six random fields per sample (n = 5).
