Immune cell composition from collagenase dispersions of lung tissue

Genotype	Total cells	NSE+ (%)	Lymphocytes (%)	Neutrophils (%)	Eosinophils (%)
WT	196 ± 13	26.7 ± 3.6	18.1 ± 2.0	52.3 ± 3.8	2.2 ± 0.7
HT	242 ± 29	29.9 ± 2.6	34.6 ± 3.2*	27.9 ± 5.5*	6.2 ± 1.6*
KO	280 ± 71	33.8 ± 2.8	35.9 ± 2.0*	22.7 ± 3.8*	7.5 ± 1.3*

Results represent means ± se × 10⁵ for 6 mice/genotype. NSE⁺, nonspecific esterase-positive cells (representing the combined monocyte and macrophage cell populations); WT, wild type; HT, heterozygote; KO, knockout.
