Rapid Purification of a New P-I Class Metalloproteinase from Bothrops moojeni Venom with Antiplatelet Activity
Figure 5
Light micrographs of section of mouse lung 24 hours after i.p. injection of B. moojeni crude venom or BmooMPα-II (50 μg/100 μL saline), stained with hematoxylin-eosin. (a) Control: normal tissue. (b-c) and (d-e) B. moojeni crude venom and BmooMPα-II, respectively: note pneumonitis evidenced by dilatation of the alveolar septa due to inflammatory infiltrate and hyperaemia. Letters indicate the presence of inflammatory infiltrate (I) and hyperaemia (H). Scale bar = 100 μm (a, b, d); scale bar = 50 μm (c, e).
