Role of interleukin 18 in acute lung inflammation induced by gut ischemia reperfusion

Figure 3 The effect of anti-IL-18 antibody on the ischemia-induced lung injury. A: Anti-IL-18 antibody injection remarkably inhibited the lung MPO activity. After 3 h of reperfusion, the MPO activity was determined in lung tissues (n = 5), ^aP<0.05 vs others. B: Comparison of pulmonary histopathology. Lungs from ischemic mice (a, for 3 h of reperfusion), and ischemic mice treated with IL-18Ab (b, for 3 h of reperfusion) and stained with HE. Magnification ×100.
