Contribution of Lung Macrophages to the Inflammatory Responses Induced by Exposure to Air Pollutants
Figure 1
Photomicrograph of cocultured primary human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) and human AMs incubated with 100 g/mL of PM10 (EHC-93) for 24 h showing particles internalized by both HBECs and AMs. Cells were cocultured on coverslips, and immunocytochemistry was performed using mouse anti-human CD68 monoclonal antibody to identify AMs. The bar represents 10 m [54].
