Distribution of Major Basic Protein on Human Airway following In Vitro Eosinophil Incubation
Figure 1
(a) Example of intense inflammatory infiltration of eosinophils into the lamina propria in airway of asthmatic patient (H&E stain; 600x). Note discrete localization of eosinophils within the ASM layer. (b) Example of immunofluorescence staining of MBP in the ASM layer of an asthmatic patient (anti-MBP; 600x). In addition to the lamina propria, MBP was clearly localized in the smooth muscle layer.
