Figure 6. Hsp72 overexpression does not affect the development of pancreatitis-associated lung injury.

Lung tissue sections from nontransgenic (A, C) and Hsp72 (B, D) mice were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Animals were analysed 12 h after caerulein (C, D) injection and compared to untreated controls (A, B) Scale bars (A–D) 200 µm. Extent of neutrophil infiltration (measured as myeloperoxidase activity) (E) was determined in untreated mice as well as 12 hours after caerulein administration. Results are presented as mean ± SEM from at least 5 mice per group/time point. Levels from Hsp72 and non-transgenic animals are visualized as black and grey bars, respectively.
