BAL fluid analyses. (A) Decrease in total BAL fluid cell counts in the MAPC-treated LLL in lungs 3 and 4. Total cell counts were not assessed in lungs 1 or 2. Data represents total cell counts for each individual lung and means ± SEM of the values obtained for each lung. (B) MAPC instillation also resulted in a significant decrease in the elevated numbers of BAL fluid total neutrophils and eosinophils in all four lungs. Data represents means ± SEM of pooled observations from three blinded observers. *Significantly different from the corresponding LLL value. (C) BAL fluid total protein levels were lower at the end of the perfusion period in the MAPC-treated LLL vs vehicle-treated RLL. Data represents means ± SEM.
