Transmission electron microscopy of lung specimens obtained from normal BALB/c mice following inhalation challenge. The ultrastructure of (A) bronchiole ciliated epithelial cell and (B) type II alveolar epithelial cell are presented, in the specimen obtained from a mouse that received inhalation challenge with 5(S),6(R)-LXA₄ methyl ester. The ultrastructure of (C) bronchiole ciliated epithelial cell and (B) type II alveolar epithelial cell including multilamellar body (D) from a specimen obtained from a mouse that received inhalation challenge with BML-111. Ultrathin sections (50 nm) are presented at a magnification of ×12,000. Arrows indicate (A and C) Bronchiole ciliated epithelial cells, (B) type II alveolar epithelial cell and (D) multilamellar body.
