Differential pulmonary protein edema and cellular injury in four inbred strains of mice after hyperoxia exposure. Total protein concentration (A) and numbers of total bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells (B) were determined by BAL analysis in inbred strains of mice after air or hyperoxia (48, 60, and 72 h) exposure. Data presented as mean (±SEM) (n = 3–8 mice/group). *Significantly different from strain-matched air controls (P < 0.05); ^¶significantly different from similarly exposed C3H/HeJ (C3) mice (P < 0.05); ^§significantly different from similarly exposed A/J mice; ^†significantly different from similarly exposed D2 mice (P < 0.05). B6, C57BL/6J.
