Figure 5. Elafin diminishes complement deposition on airway microvasculature.

Figure 5

(A) Immunofluorescence imaging shows less C3d deposition on ECs (white arrows) in allografts treated with elafin. (B) ECs of allografts treated with elafin have less deposition of C5b-9 complex. (C) EC TUNEL staining shows decreased EC apoptosis in allografts treated with elafin. (D–F) Quantification of C3d deposition (D), C5b-9 deposition (E) and EC TUNEL staining (F) (n=6 per group, representative image shown). Scale bars, 20μm (A–C). Data are shown as mean±SEM. Student’s t test was used to compare groups. *P<0.05.
