Plod expression in the developing lungs of human neonates. The tissue localization of Plod1 (A and B; patient 8), Plod2 (C; patient 10), and Plod3 (D; patient 8) was assessed by immunohistochemistry, and specificity controls were performed with competing peptides for Plod1 (B; inset) and Plod2 (C, inset), and with a competing antigen for Plod3 (D, inset). The airways, alveolar airspaces (a), endothelium (Endo), vascular smooth muscle (VSM), alveolar septa (s), and vessels are indicated. Staining patterns are representative for patterns observed in at least 2 other series.
