Figure 4. Changes in pancreatic and lung neutrophil number during acute pancreatitis.

Figure 4

Representative photomicrographs of pancreas (A) and lung (C) tissue stained for NIMP-R14, showing infiltration of neutrophils (brown) 24 h after induction of pancreatitis (original magnification, ×20). The number of NIMP-R14+ neutrophils in the pancreas (B) and lungs (D) were significantly enriched following pancreatitis induction (ligated) compared to sham control. Lung MPO activity was significantly increased following acute pancreatitis compared to sham controls at all time points evaluated (Fig. E). Bars show mean ± SEM, n = 10 per group. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001 versus sham control, by two-tailed Student t-test.
