Probing into the Mechanism of Alkaline Citrus Extract Promoted Apoptosis in Pulmonary Fibroblasts of Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis Mice

Figure 1

Identification of pulmonary fibroblast: cells in their exponential growth phase were harvested and used to prepare cell-climbing slice. Examples of immunohistochemical staining patterns for vimentin and α-SMA in the primary pulmonary fibroblasts at a total magnification of 100x. (a) Vimentin in the normal mice; (b) vimentin in the model mice; (c) α-SMA in the normal mice; (d) α-SMA in the model mice. For the statistics of each panel in this figure, all data are expressed as mean ± SD . versus normal mice, versus normal mice.
