Fig. 2. Effects of NM exposure on expression of proinflammatory and profibrotic proteins.
Lung sections, prepared 3 d and 28 d after exposure of rats to NM or control (PBS), were stained with antibody to COX-2, iNOS, Ym-1 or Gal-3. Binding was visualized using a Vectastain kit. Original magnification, 600×. Representative section from 3 – 7 rats/treatment group are shown. Control, 3 d post PBS exposure.
