Figure 1: uPA and IL-6 immunoreactive cells are detected in fibrotic lung tissue of IPF patients.

From: The fibrogenic actions of lung fibroblast-derived urokinase: a potential drug target in IPF

Figure 1

Serial sections of parenchymal tissue from separate IPF patients, (a–c) ALF016, (d–f) ALF023, (g–i) ALF028 and (j–l) ALF029, as well as a control donor, (m–o) ALF012. Sections were immunostained for uPA (left panel) or IL-6 (middle panel). The negative rabbit IgG control of the lung sections is also shown (right panel). The sections from IPF patients show uPA and IL-6 staining (brown) in fibroblast (Fb) and epithelial (Ep) cells. The scale bar in images are 100 micron.
