Figure 3.
Lung alveoli of a normal healthy rhesus monkey for comparison. (A) Normal alveolar septa (H&E; original magnification ×200). (A, a) The inter‐alveolar septa are narrow; there is no inflammatory cell infiltration or oedema (H&E; original magnification ×200). (A, b) The alveolar sacs are clear; no inflammatory cells are seen in any of the alveoli shown (H&E; original magnification ×200). Panel B, a shows intact reticulin fibres in the alveolar septa; B, b shows small capillaries located in the inter‐alveolar septa (MCT; original magnification ×400). Panel C shows the intact lining epithelium; C, a, b shows positive staining of epithelial cells with a monoclonal anti‐cytokeratin antibody (CK +; original magnification ×1000). Panel D, a, b shows that foam cells staining positive for CD68 are adherent to regenerating epithelial cells (MAb against human CD68; original magnification ×1000)
